Golden Silver Lights

from Swan Songs by Simon King

/

lyrics

Walking down O’Connell Street, cross the river in the rain
Thinking of things I can say, but my words all sound the same
I’m seeking inspiration from, the books that I have read
There’s Yeats & Oscar Wilde here, their words are in my head

So what’s the point in trying, when I already know?
What’s the point in writing songs at all?

Back across O’Connell Bridge, toward St Stephen’s Green
I think about the history, and what this place has seen
I’m hiding in a coffee shop, with voices in my head
Taking inspiration from, the words that I have read

So what’s the point in trying, when I already know?
What’s the point in writing songs at all?

I know, the Golden Silver Lights
I know, the Golden Silver Lights

So what’s the point in trying, when I already know?
What’s the point in writing songs at all?
So what’s the point in trying, when I already know?
What’s the point in writing songs at all?

I write songs and then I sing 'em. Sometimes I get it right....but not very often.
