silver lining

from one by Karn K Music

/

lyrics

a long cold day in the spring, ushered in the little pretty thing.
the stars looked down, moved out of line and said
‘she gets to earn what she gets this time.

now she liked to dance in her red shoes more than any other.
especially near the windows where the red curtains hung.
for the lights shared their shine. if only for a little time.
and for that time she feels like a lucky one. oh a lucky one.

CHORUS
seems there’s always a cloud in my silver lining.
always a cloud on my horizon.
but i’m hanging on to that silver lining. oh… oh…

growing into hand-me-downs, that had to hang not touch the ground
made it so hard to lift her head.
she kept a smile that’s cold on her face instead.
and even on days when blues feel grey and every turn turns cold.
she’d wind the heroes up and let them spin on the floor.
it made her life feel bigger, maybe than it was,
and for that time she feels like a lucky one. oh a lucky one

(C)

once in a while when the world slows down she can check up on her style.
she says to the stars with a gained pride,
i’ve earned my light this time.
now she liked to paint her daydreams with matching colored fire.
and let the dogs keep barking at the door.
for the lights will share their shine, if only for a little time,
and for that time she feels like a lucky one. oh a lucky one.

(C)

Love to tell stories, let the movie play in your head. Wrote my first song driving in the middle of the night. No light to write by, so I had to sing the poem that was in my head to try to remember it. By the time i got home, I had my first song.
