Silver Coin

Now that I'm older
I know I'm not old enough to know
What it is to be lonesome
What it is to be without a home
I've a friend in mind
Who loves me, rain or shine
Don't ask me why but his younger eyes
Are so much older eyes than mine

Thought I was well-read
I wouldn't need to ask him for a lead
When I read what his eyes said
I knew I had nothing more to read
Nothing more to say
No, nothing more to do
But throw all my words away
On someone who needs them
Who can't find a good man like you

Ran all the way here to be the first
To see the rising star
There were others before me
The sound of beauty travels far
I hear it loud and clear
Ring like a silver coin thrown down on stone
Though I'm lost in the crowd
I just know he's around me somehow
Though I'm lost in the crowd
I just know he's around me, he's around
He's around me somehow
