lyrics
Silver
We were sailing on waves of silver
There were echoes in the wind
When we raised our sails to capture them
The ship was lifted up and in and we sang
Ooh, ooh
Now the country that we came from
They play silver melodies
And the kings and queens would write their dreams
On silver pages we would read
And we sang, ooh, ooh
We will cross any water any water
And if we find, there's a song that's getting stronger
We will sound all our silver songs
And we will know if they belong
Now the echoes were getting louder
And a chorus filled the air
When the voices fell they broke the spell
That tied us to our silver chairs
And we sang, ooh, ooh
We were taken through the shadows
Were we carried through the night
When the sun appeared
My God my fears of silver melted in the light
And we saw the world with different eyes
And we sang, Ooh, Ooh
We will cross any water any water
And if we find, there's a song that's getting stronger
We will sound all our silver songs
And we will know if they belong
(Background)
We will, we will, we will cross any
Any water and, any water and
If we, if we, if we find there's a
There's a song getting stronger and stronger and
When we find it we'll, we will sound all our
We will sound all our, songs of silver
We will know, we will know
We were sailing on waves of silver
There were echoes in the wind
When we raised our sails to capture them
The ship was lifted up and in and we sang
Ooh, ooh
Now the country that we came from
They play silver melodies
And the kings and queens would write their dreams
On silver pages we would read
And we sang, ooh, ooh
We will cross any water any water
And if we find, there's a song that's getting stronger
We will sound all our silver songs
And we will know if they belong
Now the echoes were getting louder
And a chorus filled the air
When the voices fell they broke the spell
That tied us to our silver chairs
And we sang, ooh, ooh
We were taken through the shadows
Were we carried through the night
When the sun appeared
My God my fears of silver melted in the light
And we saw the world with different eyes
And we sang, Ooh, Ooh
We will cross any water any water
And if we find, there's a song that's getting stronger
We will sound all our silver songs
And we will know if they belong
(Background)
We will, we will, we will cross any
Any water and, any water and
If we, if we, if we find there's a
There's a song getting stronger and stronger and
When we find it we'll, we will sound all our
We will sound all our, songs of silver
We will know, we will know

I'm super happy that I found JG's music, albeit a bit late...this album is perfect! Born Again was the song that hooked me, but, when I heard Heaven's Knife it was so painfully beautiful...I just knew I was in love! I've never heard a song that summed up Abba's intention for an ordained marriage before this...I feel it every time I listen to Heaven's Knife and it cuts so deep! Well done. "At The Table" is my second fave song...a glorious picture of God's grace for the prodigal. Thank you JG!
