Silver Lyrics by The Gray Havens

Ghost of a King (Live)

2012

We were sailing on waves of silver,
There were echoes in the wind,
When we raised our sails to capture them,
The ship was lifted up and in and we sang,
Ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh

Now the country that we came from,
They play silver melodies,
And the kings and queens all write their dreams,
On silver pages we would read,
And we sang, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh

We will cross any water any water,
And if we find there's a song that's getting stronger,
We will sound all our silver songs,
And we will know if they belong,

Now the echoes were getting louder,
And a chorus filled the air,
When the voices fell they broke the spell,
That tied us to our silver chairs,
And we sang, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh

We were taken through the shadows,
We were carried through the night,
When the sun appeared,
My God my fears of silver melted in the light,
And we saw the world with different eyes,
And we sang,

Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh

We will cross any water any water,
And if we find there's a song that's getting stronger,
We will sound all our silver songs
And we will know if they belong,

We will sound all our silver songs
And we will know if they belong.

(Background)
We will, we will, we will cross any
Any water and, any water and,
If we, if we, if we find there's a,
There's a song getting stronger and stronger and,
When we find it we'll, we will sound all our,
We will sound all our, songs of silver,
We will know, we will know
