kristofferson kris - Silver (the Hunger) слова песни
Silver was a rounder with a wicked reputationMusic was his magic and his madness rolled in oneIt`s said he charmed the fairest hearts of this world`s fairest maidensQuick as silver mercury and slippery as a songWinding like a river through a thirsty world of strangersCarving out a legend in a dream-forsaken landSilver took his pleasures just as freely as he gave them`Cause hungry eyes weren`t quick enough for Silver`s flashing handsThen once upon escaping from the world of silk and shadowsSudden growin` sicker of the secrets and the shameHe stumbled onto something real that beckoned like a candleAnd never lookin` backwards, he surrendered to the flameChorus:Because Hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadnessSilver pale reflection of a deeper need belowMystery and magic are the holy forms of madnessSacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soulSilver moved instinctively within her soft defensesSoon unfolding mysteries he`d never seen beforeAnd wakening an ancient need, she slipped inside his sensesAnd Silver took it easy as the closing of a doorThen soon he touched the secret fears she`d hidden with her sorrowsDarker than her raven hair and deeper than her eyesAnd dared to try to lead her to the sunlight from her shadowsFollowing the line between her laughter and her liesBut Silver left his magic with the legend he`d abandonedLove had stripped him naked of illusion and it`s charmsThen one long night her changing mind took kindly to a strangerAnd morning found her moving in the golden stranger`s armsChorus:Because Hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadnessSilver pale reflection of a deeper need belowMystery and magic are the holy forms of madnessSacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soulSilver stared in silence at the tangled scene before himTime was burning frozen in the oceans of his eyesAnd sadly turning backwards to the world that he`d forsakenHe donned the shining mantle of deception and disguiseSlowly, with the patience born of silent desperationSilver worked his way into the darkness of her mindWeaving through her conscience like a chance she might have takenSadder than the shadows of the love she`ll never findAnd Silver`s spell was stronger than the softly smiling strangerWhose star was burning smaller in the naked light of dayAnd Silver took her hand again, a wiser man, but sadderReady for the stranger who would steal her love awayChorus:Because Hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadnessSilver pale reflection of a deeper need belowMystery and magic are the holy forms of madness Sworn to free the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul
