Lyrics

Silver Comes with Gold

The leaves drift down so gracefully
the wind. beloved friend
as time unwinds I dimly see
my path leads to a bend
The sky an azure canopy
once young, now I grow old
with fifty winters after me
now silver comes with gold

I never knew your name for sure
I only sensed your face
sometimes I only felt your touch
sometimes I knew your grace
wherever I?ve gone, you were there
before and ever aft
within the depths of cruelty
while weeping, while I laughed

You held me as an infant
you lead me through the woods
stood by me at the precipice
I?d love you if I could
I do - you knew I would

I drifted on that endless sea
and heaven knows where to
all signposts were misleading me
I didn?t know you knew
you waited til I woke of course
and rising silently
you met me with that face of yours
the one I cannot see

I notice that my face has changed
and bears the marks of time
age gently spares my reason
and likewise spells the rhyme
my heart, which labored all my days
may rest within your fold
as understanding comes to praise
and silver comes with gold
