lyrics

Silver and Gold

Once I loved you like a child
once I watched my heart grow old
once I let my thoughts run wild
my heart was made of gold

When I left my mother dear
when I left my father mild
nothing else was left to fear
I loved you like a child

Tell me a story, tell me a story
tell me a story some thousand years old
Tell me a story, tell me a story
tell me a story of silver and gold

When I left you long ago
I never felt I had to choose
when I let my heart decide
there was nothing that I had to lose

When I left my doubts behind
I could keep my faith in life
when I let my thoughts run wild
I found myself and smiled

Tell me a story, tell me a story
tell me a story some thousand years old
Tell me a story, tell me a story
tell me a story of silver and gold

They say that some things have to be
just like they have always been
there's one, but there's no other way
to live and to love and to sin

Tell me a story, tell me a story
tell me a story some thousand years old
Tell me a story, tell me a story
tell me a story of silver and gold

All this happened long ago
all of this is over now
but it all will never end
they love you still somehow

Tell me a story, tell me a story
tell me a story some thousand years old
Tell me a story, tell me a story
tell me a story of silver and gold

I didn't love them quite enough
to live their life instead of mine
once I loved you like a child
but that was another time
