Silver Spoon - Silver Spoon lyrics

There was a man I knew in the southwest He always wore a big hat and a tie He told me once "My soul would know no rest" "I feel there's like a shadow in my life" "Of all the things I won't do before I die" There is a girl I know here in the city She works at a coffee bar downtown One time she drank too much and told me, "I feel so empty" "I'm only twenty-two and beaten down" "And I don't know how long I'll be seeing you around" I look right in the mirror and see a face So different from what it used to be Sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up thinking If there's a sense at all in what we do And then I think that all that sense is you I saw you a thousand times in my own dreams I know your smile and the color of your skin I's maybe born with a silver spoon But with all the wealth and powers that I've got All I can do is kiss you with this song
