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
