Silver Hand - Case Studies

If I took back my silver hand

The one you never wanted anyway

And if I took back all the postcards

Took back all the letters

That I wrote to you each day

If I took back Baltimore

And all the other nights I wouldn’t take your call

Or that I used you as a crutch

Did I lean on you too much

Hopin' you would break my fall

Could we go back and start again

If we’re not family would we at least be friends

And if my wandering ever brought me to your door

Do you believe we’d fall in love just like before

I’d like to still be in your bed

But I would settle for your life instead

If I took back my silver hand

Could we go back and start again

Can I take back the setting sun

From the graveyard at the chapel of your (?)

Or that I’d left behind my (?)

Asleep in your white shadow on the pillow at your side

If we hadn’t scrutinized

All of the lies that we both told

And if I hadn’t been so careless

Desperately trying to hand over my soul

Could we go back and start again

If we’re not family would we at least be friends

And if my wandering ever brought me to your door

Do you believe we’d fall in love just like before

I’d like to still be in your bed

But I would settle for your life instead

If I took back my silver hand

Could we go back and start again

And if I hadn’t read for union

With my hand upon your lips

And if your eyes had not been water

And I hadn’t been so thirsty lookin' at you from a cage

If I hadn’t promised everything

Oh now none of them came true

I’d have no songs about remembrance

No songs about forgiveness

No songs of me and you

I’d have no songs about remembrance

No songs about forgiveness

No songs of me and you

La da da, da da da da
