Gold and Silver Songtext
von Levellers

You smile at the rain while counting your change
That′s what you do
Take a walk in the town that saw you drown
That's what you do

Chance come and make me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you′ve got

Dance before me in a glass
To closest that I ever got
Rubies, diamonds are
All that you've got

Crawling over broken glass
Well, can't you love?

The lights are erased, get out of my way
So much to do
The bills that you pay are here to stay
One more for you


Love please believe me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you′ve got

Dance before me in a glass
To closest that I ever got
Rubies, diamonds are
All that you′ve go

Crawling over broken glass
Won't get you love
Won′t buy you love

Brass and tin for your sins
Thank you

Messages come, messages sent
That's what you do
Looking so tired, hired and fired
That′s what you do

Breath don't forsake me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you′ve got


Dance before me in a glass
To closest that I ever got
Rubies, diamonds are
All that you've got

Crawling over broken glass
Won't get you love
Won′t buy you love
Can′t buy you love
