Shine On Silver Sun

Once I sat upon a hill

To watch the world go by

My friend the young magician

Had forbidden me to cry

But I was the comedian

With the laughs in short supply.

Shine on silver sun

Shine on everyone

Shine on silver sun

Shine on.

The sunlight filtered softly

Through the pale and watery sky

To catch the mirrored salmon

As it rose to take the fly

The flowers on the riverbank

Were left alone to die.

The church bells sounded midnight

As I rose to say goodbye

And a solitary tear

Fell from the corner of my eye.
