Kris Kristofferson - Silver

Tekst :

Silver was a rounder with a wicked reputation
Music was his magic and his madness rolled in one
It s said he charmed the fairest hearts of this world s fairest maidens
Quick as silver mercury and slippery as a song

Winding like a river through a thirsty world of strangers
Carving out a legend in a dream-forsaken land
Silver took his pleasures just as freely as he gave them
Cause hungry eyes weren t quick enough for Silver s flashing hands

Then once upon escaping from the world of silk and shadows
Sudden growin sicker of the secrets and the shame
He stumbled onto something real that beckoned like a candle
And never lookin backwards, he surrendered to the flame

Chorus:
Because Hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

Silver moved instinctively within her soft defenses
Soon unfolding mysteries he d never seen before
And wakening an ancient need, she slipped inside his senses
And Silver took it easy as the closing of a door

Then soon he touched the secret fears she d hidden with her sorrows
Darker than her raven hair and deeper than her eyes
And dared to try to lead her to the sunlight from her shadows
Following the line between her laughter and her lies

But Silver left his magic with the legend he d abandoned
Love had stripped him naked of illusion and it s charms
Then one long night her changing mind took kindly to a stranger
And morning found her moving in the golden stranger s arms

Chorus:
Because Hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

Silver stared in silence at the tangled scene before him
Time was burning frozen in the oceans of his eyes
And sadly turning backwards to the world that he d forsaken
He donned the shining mantle of deception and disguise

Slowly, with the patience born of silent desperation
Silver worked his way into the darkness of her mind
Weaving through her conscience like a chance she might have taken
Sadder than the shadows of the love she ll never find

And Silver s spell was stronger than the softly smiling stranger
Whose star was burning smaller in the naked light of day
And Silver took her hand again, a wiser man, but sadder
Ready for the stranger who would steal her love away

Chorus:
Because Hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sworn to free the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

    Destroy everything you touch

    Destroy everything you touch today
    Destroy me this way
    Anything that may desert you
    So it cannot hurt you

    You only have to look behind you
    At who s undermined you
    Destroy everything you touch today
    Destroy me this way

    Everything you touch you don t feel
    Do not know what you steal
    Shakes your hand
    Takes your gun
    Wants you out...

    Bad Seamstress Blues
    Alright
    Lookin on back when I was young
    I tried to sing it, but my song had been sung
    And now I ain t got no worries
    Ain t got no one to call my own
    I said but when I got just a little bit older
    All I got had come...

    Niesmak

    Noc, w jej włosy wplatam wstyd
    Przywykłam do jej rad
    Jak łatwo sprawia by
    W człowieku zapadł cały świat

    Znów żyję własną słabością

    Słów miliony mieszka tu
    Zza ściany słyszę je
    Gadają o mnie znów
    Powoli rozbierają mnie

    Znów żyję własną słabością

    Przez mą krzywą myśl

    Ik wil jou

    He leuke meid, heb je heel even tijd
    Zodat ik jou kan versieren
    Ik zie je zitten en het lijkt jij mij ook
    Wordt het geen tijd om dat te vieren

    Er speelt vanavond in het jeugdhuis een band
    Wat denk je, zullen we...

    Everything to me

    Can ride the one up to yonkers,
    Sun on a yacht on the yangtze,
    I can feel the breeze off the mississippi.
    You only mean everything to me.

    Spinning over chad in a chopper,
    Boogie-woogie in a blimp over bombay,
    Take a batobus through the gulf to yucatan.
    You only mean everything to me.

    I could thumb around...
