Dougie Maclean - Silver And Gold lyrics

When I see you cry, well, you know That I just feel such desperation And it seems that I'll never understand This crazy situation And it looks like lovers must be sad Just to make some complication 'Cause you can't hold on To the silver and gold 'Cause the silver won't have you And the gold's been sold When I close my eyes on the long hard day And I drift into my dreaming Well, it's the brightest lights that I want to hold All the rest have no real meaning And it looks like good friends have to part If they stay it's too revealing 'Cause you can't hold on To the silver and gold 'Cause the silver won't have you And the gold's been sold That's the way it seems when there's nothing In this world of which we're certain And you can see we're lost and it's obvious We're in need of some direction But all the shadows closing round Well, they're just some old reflection 'Cause you can't hold on To the silver and gold 'Cause the silver won't have you And the gold's been sold
