Silver and Gold

On a drunken boat, I weave my way

Through the lanes where I used to lay

When all the nights that came before

Are finally over

I'm talking on the corner

But I know this street

Has a dream of its own

All the roads that I've travelled

Are the years from my past

But your eyes, they lie, they lie about what they've been told

Until they shine, they shine, they shine like silver and gold

And there's no use for your body and no use for your soul

Save me a place wrapped in blankets next to you

And I'll sleep for as long as the night allows me to

Man's eternal grace is greater than the grave

And the sadness that lines your face

Clings hard to the traditions of your lies

They lie, they lie about what they're told

Until your eyes, they shine, they shine like silver and gold

And there's no use for your body and no use for your soul

No journey is over for you and I

As the eagles, they circle above us in the sky

I've no use for the fireplace, the wind's blown me dry

And this cold night has given me the space

To hear your voice echo all its lies

They lie, they lie about what they're told

Until your eyes, they shine, they shine like silver and gold

And your heart turns silver, and your hands burn cold

If the sea burns silver, the fields burn cold

As a heart turns to silver, the hands turn to gold

Hands turn to gold
