Silver Bracelet

A silver bracelet
'Round her wrist
On a bare brown arm
Against my neck
As we did kiss
I heard those rattling silver charms

I found the handle in the dark
With my shaking hands
She lit a candle with a gentle spark
And gave gentle commands
You see, I met a girl
Late in the night and
I rode with her 'cross town
Very far and
Very fast I felt myself falling down, down, down

One silver bracelet
Like some magic charm
One little silver bracelet
On her brown arm

First thing she said
Watching cards as she threw
Two of cups
That's me and you and beware towers
And hanged men
And meanings are
What you make of them

You see, I met a girl
Late in the night and
I rode with her across town
Into my future
And into my past
I found myself falling down, down, down

A silver bracelet 'round her wrist
On a bare brown arm against my neck
As we did kiss
I still hear those rattling silver charms
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
