Silver Sun

Kristin Hersh

He nears suspiciously

As panic enters

Geography for beginners

Barter for the rest of your life



Feeling wasted comes in waves

Orient harder

Then you're molten phase

To smile at a stranger

How much for a life you don't despise



Tongues and a shining silver sun

Don't you wish you hadn't gone

I am starting to sometimes

I wish you were here



Only sweetness that's all

To shake off the bitter

So I make you toothless well

Live on water

Water for a thirst you can't fight



Precious tongues and precious bodies

Have you been savaged by love bites

How much for a life you don't despise



Tongues and a shining silver sun

Don't you wish you hadn't gone

I am starting to sometimes

I wish you were here



Long underrated silver sun

Don't you wish we hadn't gone

We were starting to see a beautiful mirror
