Silver Lining Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And we're not going back
Into rags or in the hole
And our bruises are coming
But we will never fold
And I was your silver lining
As the story goes
I was your silver lining
But now, I'm gold

[Chorus]
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now, I'm gold

[Verse 2]
And I was your silver lining
High up on my toes
But you were runnin' through fields of hitch-hikers
As the story goes

[Chorus]
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now, I'm gold
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now, I'm gold
[Bridge]
And the grass, it was a tickin'
And the sun was on the rise
I never felt so wicked
As when I willed our love to die


[Verse 3]
And I was your silver lining
As the story goes
I was your silver lining
But now, I'm gold

[Chorus]
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now, I'm gold
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now, I'm gold
But now, I'm gold
But now, I'm gold
