Silver Mine

There's an old silver mine

It's frozen in time

Rusting from years of decay

It's what's left from the fall

When the boom hit the wall

And the mining company didn't pay

And the rocks came falling down

A cloud dust like we're gonna drown

But when I saw your face like a touch of grace

It was silver all around

There's silverweed growing on the mountainside

And silver star showers in the Wasatch sky

And when the moon dims on this life

I will be yours and you will be mine

With silver mountain snow in the aspen trees

That silver sparkle smile when you look at me

Those silver strands in your long brown hair

And all of the years I spent puttin' 'em there

That silver is mine

I nearly lost my mind

On the watch they wind

Working that mine in the black

They filled their pocket books

With the rock they took

And we're not gonna get it back

And the rocks came falling down

A cloud dust like we're gonna drown

But when I saw your face like a touch of grace

It was silver all around

There's silverweed growing on the mountainside

And silver star showers in the Wasatch sky

And when the moon dims on this life

I will be yours and you will be mine

With silver mountain snow in the aspen trees

That silver sparkle smile when you look at me

Those silver strands in your long brown hair

And all of the years I spent puttin' 'em there

That silver is mine

'Cause there's silverweed growing on the mountainside

And silver star showers in the Wasatch sky

And when the moon dims on this life

I will be yours and you will be mine

With silver mountain snow in the aspen trees

That silver sparkle smile when you look at me

Those silver strands in your long brown hair

And all of the years I spent puttin' 'em there

That silver is mine
