Let It Come Down - Lyrics
Silver String

Listen to Real Audio Clip of this track
"Another song I wrote in an open tuning, and it has a lot of nice chord voicings. Lyrically, it's an open declaration of love for someone that I felt so good about and had to tell. I really love ballads, - I even like "Four Seasons of Change" by Boyz 2 Men. I tried to write a traditional rock ballad, but with a country feel. Adam played a great piano track, and the strings are kind of Phil Spector-ish. There's some Keith Richards-style country noodling dropped in to keep it from being a completely straight ballad." -
James Iha

Lyrics

oooh
oooh
oooh
and i need you tonight
you lay sleeping by my side
and i worry, dear
when things you say are bright and gay
and i want to hear your words
of encouragement
and not a soul
just i will know

we're lovers dear
and we're honestly
together somehow
and tied with silver string
we'll live for ever and ever
until you decide

and downhearted
and down 'cause we live apart
no, i can't fake it
not for one more day
is there someplace we can go
where we can make a go
it's up to us to care
in you i trust
in all things there's a must
and never leave again

we're lovers dear
and we're honestly
together somehow
and tied with silver string
we'll live for ever and ever
and if you decide
and don't lie
you know there'll still come a time
we're lovers dear
and we're honestly
together somehow
and tied with silver string
we'll live for ever and ever
and if you decide
oooh
