Lyrics Silver Coin - Archie Fisher

Silver Coin

Now that I’m older
Though not old enough to know
What it is to be lonely
What it is to be without a home
I’ve a friend around
Who loves me rain or shine
Don’t ask me why
But her younger eyes are so much
Older eyes than mine
I thought I was well read
Wouldn’t have to ask her for a lead
Till I read what her eyes said
Then I knew there was nothing more to read
Nothing more to do
And nothing more to say
But give all my words away
To someone who needs them
But can’t find a girl like you
I ran all the way here
To be the first to see the morning star
There were others before me
For the sounds of beauty travel far
I hear it loud and clear
And it rings like a silver coin
Thrown down on stone
Though I’m lost in a crowd
I know you’re around me somehow
I hear it loud and clear
And it rings like the silver coin
Thrown down on stone
Though I’m lost in a crowd
I know you’re around me somehow
