Silver and Gold Lyrics by Kris Drever, John McCusker, Roddy Woomble

Before the Ruin

0

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know this street
Has a dream of its own
All the roads that I've travelled
Are the years from my past
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Coda]
If the sea burns silver, the fields burn cold
As a heart turns to silver, the hands turn to gold
Hands turn to gold
