Silver Plates Lyrics

Moonlight melts in your blue-gray eyes

As my worst fears all subside

June nights fade into warm pink skies

As you stay here by my side

The beggar by your corner waits

For you to break your silver plates

He knows it won't be long

So drop him a coin and hear his song

And hear his song

Moonlight melts in your blue-gray eyes

As my worst fears all subside

Well it's a seller's market, a buyer's bid

So far off target you're off the grid

They're putting up another shopping mall

But there's no more room left for us all

Yeah for us all

Moonlight melts in your blue-gray eyes

As my worst fears all subside

The house cat paws now at your leg

Thought you taught him not to beg

Instincts stuck from the reptile brain

They're harder to lift than a freight train

An old freight train

Moonlight melts in your blue-gray eyes

As my worst fears all subside

The critics all cringe, the papers all plead

For a donation to the truth you need

I just wish I could find it all funny

They all got an angle if you follow the money

So follow the money

Moonlight melts in your blue-gray eyes

As my worst fears all subside

But if you told me you had to leave

I'd rip my heart right off my sleeve
