Silver

It's incredible but true
You could change my life so easily
Though you never said you would
You have drawn a line onto my skin

Your lips were stained from all that wine
Like a drunken sailor going home
Still your mind was razor sharp
Recollecting every word I said

Forever more
Silver and gold

Dine with me tonight
I can't stay for one more day
I know, please just listen
I don't even know your name
Is that important at this stage?

Silver and gold

But the path remained untold
How you found your way in a big city
Knowing a-z of structure
Your art is who you really are

You really are
Silver and gold

What if I would stay
I don't dare to bring it up
I'd love to know you better
You know you would never leave
That's true but my life is back there

Manhattan
