Silver Spoon Lyrics - Singles - Silver Spoon

There was a man I knew in the southwest 

He always wore a big hat and a tie 

He told me once "My soul would know no rest" 

"I feel there's like a shadow in my life" 

"Of all the things I won't do before I die" 

There is a girl I know here in the city 

She works at a coffee bar downtown 

One time she drank too much and told me, "I feel so empty" 

"I'm only twenty-two and beaten down" 

"And I don't know how long I'll be seeing you around" 

I look right in the mirror and see a face 

So different from what it used to be 

Sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up thinking 

If there's a sense at all in what we do 

And then I think that all that sense is you 

I saw you a thousand times in my own dreams 

I know your smile and the color of your skin 

I's maybe born with a silver spoon 

But with all the wealth and powers that I've got 

All I can do is kiss you with this song
