Silver Blanket - Nikki Sudden, The Chamberstrings, Jeff Tweedy

Ha, ha

Got ya, oh, no.

Oh, no, not my baby

Not my girl.

If there was another blanket on the bed

There’d be so many things that wouldn’t need to be said

But, I’ll be back in Europe soon

I’ll bring you this album and a balloon

Maybe a silver blanket could dry my tears away

But, is that really what you wanna hear me say?

You said we should never forget the past

So many memories that should always last

Oh, I could bring you the moon

Or, kiss you underneath a tarnished spoon

A silver blanket would wipe my tears away

But, is that really what you wanna hear me say?

A bunch of roses that I’ll send

And a red brocade jacket if that makes any sense

A box of records on your shelf

I’ll buy these for you from my mis-placed wealth

A silver blanket could brush my tears away

But, is that really what you wanna hear me say?

The sun shone on me today

And maybe that’s the saddest thing to try and explain

Drank a cup of tea to ease the pain

And I thought of you, once again

A silver blanket could wash my tears away

But, is that really what you wanna hear me say?

Is that really what you want me to say?

Oh, is that really what you wanna hear me say?

Today or any day.

A silver blanket to wipe my tears away

A silver blanket that’ll caress my face

A silver blanket to open up my days

Oh, hey, hey.

Kiss your life away

Kiss your tears away

I’ll be back again

I’ll be back again

I promise you of that

You can forget all the broken facts

The broken tears that too many times have been cried

When I touch you, touch you so deep inside

Like you touched me

Like you touched me

Like you touched me

Like you always will

Always
