i'm in the alley i'm on the street
scrounging again for something to eat
they are the archers, and were all thieves
What I don't get is how we play for keeps
Pick a card, any card
I heard you whispering while I played my guitar
They are the liars
Were all cheats
if this was a game, i think i got you beat
you're my silver lining babe I'm on my way
you're my silver lining, i'll be your sail
If i were king, you'd be my queen
lavender blue // dilly dilly
if i had a dollar for every time i've been broke
i'd still be laughing at my own joke
If I had a boat we'd go around the world
looking for the edges, listen to the words that you heard
if hope were an island
then we're all cats
When we leave this place were never coming back
you're my silver lining babe I'm on my way
you're my silver lining, i'll be your sail
