Strawbs - Shine On Silver Sun lyrics

rate me

Once I sat upon a hill<br />

To watch the world go by<br />

My friend the young magician <br />

Had forbidden me to cry<br />

But I was the comedian<br />

With the laughs in short supply.<br />

<br />

Shine on silver sun<br />

Shine on everyone<br />

Shine on silver sun<br />

Shine on.<br />

<br />

The sunlight filtered softly<br />

Through the pale and watery sky<br />

To catch the mirrored salmon<br />

As it rose to take the fly<br />

The flowers on the riverbank<br />

Were left alone to die.<br />

<br />

The church bells sounded midnight<br />

As I rose to say goodbye<br />

And a solitary tear <br />

Fell from the corner of my eye.
