Lyrics:
Strawbs - Shine On Silver Sun
Once I sat upon a hill
To watch the world go by
My friend the young magician
Had forbidden me to cry
But I was
There's a long line of mourners drivin' down our street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see
They are all your rich friends who knew you in
Swallowing a swallow
Tasting it again, it's not so unpleasant
Perhaps it's an acquired taste
The first time, it makes you sick
Then, bit by bit, it
I heard the news, they told me on a Sunday
Opened my eyes, the skies they turned to grey
I count the years, the roll so slowly by me
Wish I could
live after dark
Ask the Psychic Friends, the rhymin-ass cypher with the blends
Kings of many men, ancient wisdom, sizzles in
Got a whole crew
supple women in my reach.
Where did the day go, on whose say so,
I left my wallet and keys in San Diego
I've stopped manning the lighthouse that
got time for me
In my bank, all these zeros
The best friends are the payloads
I can never switch on my migos
You don't even know what I been through
full moon
Fleeing into the coffee fields
I'm dragging guilt tied to my heels
My friend, he is coming
And he means to reckon with me
Favor his
revenge ya got to pass my dead end
I use your best friend to set ya up for me to win
To put the blood inside my pen to write my next sin
Then again,
spent a lot of time away from family and friends
The first song I wrote, was a song named "Revenge"
Ever since then, my weapon was a pen
But I still kept
she and I and a few friends, she left a texto there with the coordinates of this gas station.
Well, she ain't here, is she?
Maybe she's hidden.
Where
her, he’ll be fine, don’t cry
A year went by when I got a call that said you were coming home
My friends told me to just be ready ‘cause you weren’t
Spanish moss is falling down the walls of my head
Like upon the little house we used to live in by the river’s bed
Warm water brimming from the side
There’s an old guy I know, I call him Goodbye Joe
He’s a long time friend of the family
Day by day kinfolk died or moved away
But Goodbye Joe stayed
a little bitty puppy yet
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old
back
so we facing a stab in the back
cus we so quick replacing friends with our frenemies
who's left defending me?
when tables turn and I'm stuck in
you wacked, uh, by ya man
Type of money make me know why mama nem say don't trust your friend
'Cause these niggas be dead wrong and just gon' cross
Heading straight for the blue moon
Nothing can ever be too late or too soon
My brothers and I and a dear friend left the country with ashes for the wind
(joe perry)
Driving' down the mass. pike 4 a.m.
Blue lights on behind it's my friend again
Scenery rushing by me I don't see anything
Headlong life
Haven't we both heard enough babe
This is what we're gonna do
Let me put my arms around you once more
There's nothing left here to prove
Walk away
feel the wind in your hair
As we leave the old country
With seven score friends, here by our side
To keep us company
'Cos there's many more we've left
"it has done me good to be somewhat parched by the heat
and drenched by the rain of life."
-henry w. longfellow
when you opened up your mouth
did it
Monsignor, we have your silver
We caught this man red-handed
He had the nerve to say you gave him this
That is right
But my friend you left so
The curtain falls for one last time
And outside the crowed still cheers
There'll be no encore this time
Weep away all your tears my friend
We will meet
