《Silver (The Hunger)》歌词

[00:00:00] Silver (The Hunger) - Kris Kristofferson

[00:00:02] Written by : Kris Kristofferson

[00:00:14] Silver was a rounder with a wicked reputation

[00:00:20] Music was his magic and his madness rolled in one

[00:00:27] It's said he charmed the fairest hearts of this world's fairest maidens

[00:00:34] Quick as silver mercury and slippery as a song

[00:00:43] Winding like a river through a thirsty world of strangers

[00:00:50] Carving out a legend in a dream- forsaken land

[00:00:56] Silver took his pleasures just as freely as he gave them

[00:01:03] 'Cause hungry eyes weren't quick enough for silver's flashing hands

[00:01:11] Then once upon escaping from the world of silk and shadows

[00:01:18] Sudden growin' sicker of the secrets and the shame

[00:01:25] He stumbled onto something real that beckoned like a candle

[00:01:32] And never lookin' backwards he surrendered to the flame

[00:01:39] Because hunger is the surface of a darkened pool of sadness

[00:01:53] Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below

[00:02:06] Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness

[00:02:20] Sacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

[00:02:40] Silver moved instinctively within her soft defenses

[00:02:47] Soon unfolding mysteries he'd never seen before

[00:02:54] And wakening an ancient need she slipped inside his senses

[00:03:00] And silver took it easy as the closing of a door

[00:03:09] Then soon he touched the secret fears she'd hidden with her sorrows

[00:03:15] Darker than her raven hair and deeper than her eyes

[00:03:22] And dared to try to lead her to the sunlight from her shadows

[00:03:29] Following the line between her laughter and her lies

[00:03:37] But silver left his magic with the legend he'd abandoned

[00:03:44] Love had stripped him naked of illusion and it's charms

[00:03:51] Then one long night her changing mind took kindly to a stranger

[00:03:58] And morning found her moving in the golden stranger's arms

[00:04:06] Because hunger is the surface of a darkened pool of sadness

[00:04:20] Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below

[00:04:33] Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness

[00:04:46] Sacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

[00:05:07] Silver stared in silence at the tangled scene before him

[00:05:14] Time was burning frozen in the oceans of his eyes

[00:05:20] And sadly turning backwards to the world that he'd forsaken

[00:05:27] He donned the shining mantle of deception and disguise

[00:05:36] Slowly with the patience born of silent desperation

[00:05:43] Silver worked his way into the darkness of her mind

[00:05:50] Weaving through her conscience like a chance she might have taken

[00:05:56] Sadder than the shadows of the love she'll never find

[00:06:04] And silver's spell was stronger than the softly smiling stranger

[00:06:11] Whose star was burning smaller in the naked light of day

[00:06:18] And silver took her hand again a wiser man but sadder

[00:06:26] Ready for the stranger who would steal her love away

[00:06:33] Because hunger is the surface of a darkened pool of sadness

[00:06:48] Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below

[00:07:00] Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness

[00:07:14] Sworn to free the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul
