Silver and Gold [Verse 1] Said the moon to the sun, “Could you turn that thing down? You’ve been playing all summer and shaking up the town.” Said the sun to the moon, “All your shine is on loan; Must you steal all my light just to sit there all alone?” And the ocean just listened swaying to and fro: “You can kiss, you could fight—must you make me come and go One keeps pulling me close, one won’t let me go cold. I’m in love with the silver, I’m in love with the gold.” [Chorus] I’m in love with the silver, in love with the gold, With the one I can’t keep and the one I can’t hold. They go dancing in circles; I crash on the shore, Then I pull myself back just to crash a little more. Said the sun to the moon, “You were out too late last night.” Said the moon to the sun, “Must you always start a fight?” “You were up with the sea, putting on quite the show.” “You don’t get to decide where your light gets to go.” [Verse two.] “Would you miss me at all?” asked the sun, sinking low. Said the moon, “Must you leave every time that I show?” And the ocean said, “Funny—we all want to stay, But we only say so when we’re drifting away.” And the ocean just listened and swayed to and fro: “You can kiss, you could fight—must you make me come and go? She keeps pulling me close, and he won’t let me go cold. I’m in love with the silver, I’m in love with the gold.” [Chorus] I’m in love with the silver, in love with the gold, With the one I can’t keep and the one I can’t hold. They go dancing in circles; I crash on the shore, Then I pull myself back just to crash a little more. Said the sun to the moon, “You were out too late last night.” Said the moon to the sun, “Must you always start a fight?” “You were up with the sea, putting on quite the show.” “You don’t get to decide where your light gets to go.” I’m in love with the silver, in love with the gold, With the one I can’t keep and the one I can’t hold. They go dancing in circles; I crash on the shore, Then I pull myself back just to crash a little more.
