Silver Spoon - Silver Spoon lyrics

Silver Spoon - Silver Spoon

There was a man I knew in the Southwest

He always wore a big hat and a tie

He told me once "My soul would know no rest"

"I feel there's like a shadow in my life"

"Of all the things I won't do before I die"

There is a girl I know here in the city

She works at a coffee bar downtown

One time she drank too much and told me, "I feel so empty"

"I'm only twenty-two and beaten down"

"And I don't know how long I'll be seeing you around"

I look right in the mirror and see a face

So different from what it used to be

Sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up thinking

If there's a sense at all in what we do

And then I think that all that sense is you

I saw you a thousand times in my own dreams

I know your smile and the color of your skin

I's maybe born with a silver spoon

But with all the wealth and powers that I've got

All I can do is kiss you with this song
