The Silver Light

(Anastasio/Marshall/Herman)

The silver light that falls at night
Reminds me what it’s like to be
Ever flowing, never knowing
In a sense it’s only me

I see things no other sees
Like angels on a summer’s breeze
Or demons in the silver light
That spills across my desk at night

The silver light that falls at night
Reminds me what it’s like to be
Ever flowing, never knowing
In a sense it’s only me

I hear things no others hear
The whispers in your lover’s ear
The songs of pain that loss may bring
Which ghostly voices nightly sing

The silver light that falls at night
Reminds me what it’s like to be
Ever flowing, never knowing
In a sense it’s only me

I feel things no others feel
And wear long garments to conceal
The moon burn from forgotten light
That spills across my desk at night

The silver light that falls at night
Reminds me what it’s like to be
Ever flowing, never knowing,
in a sense it’s only me

In a sense it’s only me
