Strawbs - Shine On, Silver Sun lyrics

Cousins Once I sat upon a hill to watch the world go by My friend the young magician had forbidden me to cry But I was the comedian with the laughs in short supply. Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone Shine on silver sun, shine on. The sunlight filtered softly through the pale and watery sky To catch the mirrored salmon as it rose to take the fly The flowers on the riverbank were left alone to die. Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone Shine on silver sun, shine on. The church bells sounded midnight as I rose to say goodbye And a solitary tear fell from the corner of my eye. Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone Shine on silver sun, shine on, shine on.
