Lyrics
Silver Thread words & music: Mark E. Porro c 2019
When I close my eyes, I see their faces
Hear their voices in my head
And I wait for them to tell me
What broke their silver thread
Those whove gone had hopes and dreams
And once shared this earthly plane
With the ones who search for answers
And the words that might explain
As the silver thread that ties us to this world
Slowly unravels and frays
And as time passes so quickly, we begin to face the truth
So, we try to make the most of every day
Let their spirits ride the summer wind
Let them dance among the clouds
Let the heavens shed its bitter tears
And cast a mournful shroud
These empty mortal vessels
That once held their vibrant souls
Are crossing over heavens bridge
Where peaceful waters flow
As the silver thread that ties us to this world
Slowly unravels and frays
And as time passes so quickly, we begin to face the truth
So, we try to make the most of every day
We should try to make the most of every day
As we stumble through the darkness
Of another moonless night
Tearing at the mask that blocks our sight
We remember those whove gone before
Let our memories be their light, let our memories be their light
Let our memories be their light
