Silver
T Power Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna steal
A silver stallion
With not a mark upon
His silky hide
Teach him
He can trust me
Like a sister, one day
We'll saddle up and ride

(Chorus)
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed
Jack of diamonds
With the devil
Close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride

I'm gonna find me
A reckless man
Razor blades
And dice in his eyes

Just a touch of sadness
In his fingers
Thunder and lightening
Iin his thighs

(Chorus)

I'm gonna chase
The sky forever
With the man
And the stallion
And the wind
The sun is gonna burn
Into a cinder
Before we ever pass
This way again





(Chorus)

I'm gonna steal
I am going to steal


A silver stallion
A horse with a silver coat


With not a mark upon
Without a single blemish


His silky hide
His smooth, soft skin


Teach him
Teach the horse


He can trust me
To trust in me


Like a sister, one day
In the same way as a sister


We'll saddle up and ride
We'll get on the horse and ride away


And we're gonna ride
We will ride


Ride like the one eyed
Ride like the legendary one-eyed player


Jack of diamonds
The Jack of Diamonds card in a deck of cards


With the devil
With evil or misfortune


Close behind
Following right after us


I'm gonna find me
I am going to find


A reckless man
A daring, careless man


Razor blades
Small knives with razor-sharp edges


And dice in his eyes
The appearance of dice in his eyes


Just a touch of sadness
Only a slight amount of sorrow


In his fingers
In the way he holds things


Thunder and lightening
Loud, sudden noises and bright flashes of light


In his thighs
In the way he moves


I'm gonna chase
I am going to pursue


The sky forever
The infinite expanse above us


With the man
With the man I found


And the stallion
And the horse we stole


And the wind
And the air rushing around us


The sun is gonna burn
The sun will become very hot


Into a cinder
It will be reduced to ashes


Before we ever pass
Before we travel this way


This way again
Once more down this path

The 90s were a golden age for music. in the UK in particular, the entire decade seemed to produce so much quality music.

Aw, man. I've been searching for this track forever! Well, since 1997 when the owner of the CD moved!

@hplovehandle

This was a tune I played a lot in  chill out rooms in the 90's. Great big,fat bass line.

@sleat
