Silver and Gold

 

Let me sit beside you, and hold you one more time

And try to find a way to stop you crying

I wish that I could tell you I’d make day from night

And I know all the magic words to make it alright

 

Silver and gold, look at the lies they told

They would sell the world for silver and gold

 

I just don’t believe it, it’s happened once again

Brought about by wicked, ruthless men

Everybody sees it, there is no place to hide

But that won’t dry the rivers people cry

 

Ooh, nothing lasts forever, oh, they won’t last forever, oh

Oh, hanging in the balance, clinging on to life

Cut so deep by words as sharp as knives

 

Silver and gold, look at the lies they told

They would sell the world for silver and gold
