Silver in Your Laugh

Verse 1

Clock

Ticking slow

Dusty parlor floor

I recognize the silver in your laugh

Tangled hair

Wilder than the year before

But it is you

Always you

Underneath a brand new name

Chorus

A thousand lives

A thousand lives

A thousand lives

I find you in the crowd

I find you in the crowd

You wear a different face

You walk a different pace

But I would know your spirit anywhere

I would know your spirit anywhere

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Again and again

Oh oh

Verse 2

Suit

Narrow tie

Looking like a stranger

Heavy boots clicking on the pavement

A girl last time

Ribbons in the summer rain

Now you stand tall

Skin like copper

Eyes like coal

Never really gone

Chorus

A thousand lives

A thousand lives

A thousand lives

I find you in the crowd

I find you in the crowd

You wear a different face

You walk a different pace

But I would know your spirit anywhere

I would know your spirit anywhere

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Again and again

Oh oh

Bridge

Mountains crumble

Rivers run dry

Empires fall down

Empires fade out

Empires turn cold

I wait for the spark

The way you tilt your head

The way you speak my name

The way you start the fire

Chorus

A thousand lives

A thousand lives

A thousand lives

I find you in the crowd

I find you in the crowd

You wear a different face

You walk a different pace

But I would know your spirit anywhere

I would know your spirit anywhere

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Again and again

Oh oh

Outro

See you in the next one

Wait for me

Just wait for me

Always you

Always

Always

Always
