Silver coin

Mmmmmm such a good song. Beautiful. Wonderful sentiment. Sometimes I feel a thing and I get annoyed that there isn't a song that says that thing so that I can sing along. In those moments I want to write my own songs (as opposed to just lyrics which I do write... begrudgingly) .... a thought I step rapidly away from because how do you get it made into a song if it isn't "I kissed a girl"? I don't have the skill or talent for vocalizing my own lyrics, and don't have a stray illiterate singer to teach my words to. But this song captures a thing I feel in a way no other song does. Now I just need to find another song that talks about... another thing...

Lyrics:

Heard the rattle from the train

Sounds of a hundred people,
Maybe more
Cut through the ropes before you came
I had a dream that you were gone.

I'm in the days of throwing rocks
When I saw your picture on a silver coin
Stole a kiss through your golden locks
I had a dream that you were gone.
Woke up and you were gone

All the love has gone away
Cos I didn't have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone

Heard the rattle from the chains
This goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone
