Silver in the Shadow

Lyrics

The snow's falling softly and the grass is still green The captain above me is so luminously clean We're daisy companions, a man and his beast Silver in the shadow, and there's gold in the stream I know I hear you heaving and kicking the dirt I know that it's broken, and I know that it hurts There's a river of nothing, and you're dying of thirst Just one sip and off you swim; it's the last day you'll work Do you die like an Irish in an anthracite mine? Are you alive like the first night with your candlelit bride? She's your darling companion and so thoughtlessly kind We'll ride out to meet her the day we survive
