Silver Mine Songtext
von John Smith

Hold on ′til the evening
Reaching out for something
She reads the words alone
Telling our whole story
Stripped of all its glory
Speaking the unknown

The blood of fathers, mothers, sons
Enlivens us like rivers running freely
A daughter's hand the anchor for a ship
That sometimes disappears completely

She is a diamond in a silver mine
A light by which to find another morning
Lead me away by hand, by heart
From days that fall apart without warning


Try to slow the turning wheels
That push your mind and drag your heels
Let the weather change your ways
Growing younger when we′re older
Singing ballads ever louder
In these silent, restless days

Daughter, take my heart in hand
And bury it out just beyond the water
Where fools will crown themselves as kings
And love in all its rage will give no quarter

She is a diamond in a silver mine
A light by which to find another morning
Lead me away by hand, by heart
From days that fall apart without warning

My diamond in a silver mine
When darkness closes in, I hear her calling
Lead me away by hand, by heart
From hope that comes apart when I am falling
Yes, I am falling

Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh, eh, eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh, eh


My diamond in a silver mine
A light by which to find another morning
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Lead me away by hand, by heart
From days that fall apart without warning
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
