Tears Of Silver

(Dean Madonia)
Words And Music by Scott Avery
tears of silver
(Scott Avery)

I bring to you
Stolen gems and sunken treasure
I sing to you
Naked soul and bootleg blues
I bring to you
Not one ordinary pleasure
Now you cry
For something you can use

So rise, rise
Take these tears of silver
From my eyes

I steal for you
Every secret I can gather
I steal for you
Every smile I can¹t afford
I steal for you
Anything that seems to matter
Still you cry
³Where¹s my great reward?²

So rise, rise
Take these tears of silver
From my eyes

Tears of silver piling high
We will build your silver palace
By and by

I¹d wring these hands to bring you anything of value
Now I tell you
If it still ain¹t ringin¹ true

Rise, rise
Take these tears of silver
From my eyes
