Silver String
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
And I need you tonight
You lay sleeping by my side
And I worry, dear
When things you say are bright and gay
And I want to hear your words
Of encouragement
And not a soul
Just I will know
We're lovers dear
And we're honestly
Together somehow
And tied with silver string
We'll live for ever and ever
Until you decide
And downhearted
And down 'cause we live apart
No, I can't fake it
Not for one more day
Is there someplace we can go
Where we can make a go
It's up to us to care
In you I trust
In all things there's a must
And never leave again
We're lovers dear
And we're honestly
Together somehow
And tied with silver string
We'll live for ever and ever
And if you decide
And don't lie
You know there'll still come a time
We're lovers dear
And we're honestly
Together somehow
And tied with silver string
We'll live for ever and ever
And if you decide
Oooh
Fun Facts
"Another
song I wrote in an open tuning, and it has a lot of nice chord
voicings. Lyrically, it's
an open declaration of love for someone that I felt so good about
and had to tell. I really love
ballads, - I even like "Four Seasons of Change" by Boyz
2 Men. I tried to write a traditional
rock ballad, but with a country feel. Adam played a great piano
track, and the strings are kind of
Phil Spector-ish. There's some Keith Richards-style country
noodling dropped in to keep it from
being a completely straight ballad."
- James Iha
