I'm afraid

embarassed to

I have never

seen anything like you

My God, you're great

greater than I did expect

and the night

is silver

'round your neck

and the night

is silver

'round your neck



Men high and low

sing hymns to you

Your sons and daughters

do what you want them to

I want to wear

your love like a laurel wreath

And the night turns silver

when you breathe

And the night turns silver

when you breathe



I'm out of time

you bring me down

you leave me naked

standing out of line

'cause you're a soul

on an endless trek

and the night is silver

'round your neck

and the night is silver

'round your neck
