Status: On Haitus

Silver String
Previous|Next

.:. Song Information .:.
From the album Let It Come Down
Released in February 1998 on Virgin Records
Written by James Iha
Produced by James Iha and Jim Scott
Running Time: 3:53

"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

I need you dear, you lay sleeping by my side
And I worry dear but things you say are bright and gay
And I warm to your words of encouragement
And not a soul knows what I will know

We're lovers and we're honestly
Together somehow and tied with silver string
We'll live forever and ever
And if you decide

And downhearted, and down cause we live apart
No I can't fake it not for one more day

If there's someplace we can go
If we can make a home
It's up to us to cope

In you I trust in all things there's a must
And I will live again

And if you decide
And if you decide

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
