Silvio

[Verse 1] Stake my future on a hell of a past Looks like tomorrow is a coming on fast Ain't complaining about what I got Seen better times but who has not [Chorus] Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know [Verse 2] Honest as the next jade rolling that stone When I come and knocking don't throw me no bone I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home If you don't like it, you can leave me alone [Verse 3] I can snap my fingers and require the rain From a clear blue sky and turn it off again I can stroke your body and relieve your pain And charm the whistle off an evening train [Chorus] Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know [Verse 4] I give what I got until I got no more I take what I get until I even the score You know I love you and furthermore When it's time to go you got an open door [Verse 5] I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain You give something up for everything you gain Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain Pay for your ticket and don't complain [Chorus] Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know [Verse 6] One of these days and it won't be long Going down in the valley and sing my song I will sing it loud and sing it strong Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong [Chorus] Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know [Chorus] Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know [Chorus] Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know
