Silver Coin - Bridget St. John

Now that I’m older, I know I’m not old enough to know what it is to be lonesome,

what it is to be without a home

I’ve a friend in mind who loves me, rain or shine

Don’t ask me why but his younger eyes are so much older eyes than mine

Thought I was well-read, I wouldn’t need to ask him for a lead

When I read what his eyes said, I knew I had nothing more to read

Nothing more to say, no, nothing more to do but throw all my words away on

someone who needs them, who can’t find a good man like you

Ran all the way here to be the first to see the rising star

There were others before me, the sound of beauty travels far

I hear it loud and clear, ring like a silver coin thrown down on stone

Though I’m lost in a crowd I just know he’s around me somehow

Though I’m lost in a crowd I just know he’s around me, he’s around me somehow
