Silver Threads
Seth Lakeman, Daniel Goddard
From here I am growing old
Silver threads among the gold
Will shine upon my brow today
And darling, you will ever be
Always young and fair to me
But time is fading so fast away
Every year that passes you will be
An evergreen all etched against the sky
Every day that's granted for you and for me
A tangle and a twist of ivy twine and life goes on
Hollow cheeks and steps too slow
To the heart that beats below
Well, take the breath you draw today
Every year that passes you will be
An elderberry nested and entwined
Every day that's granted for you and for me
A final drink of rich and flowing wine
And life goes on and on and on and on
