  Hi greg & fellow COWPIE subscribers.

  	I cannot remember when or whom but someone requested songs by Kris

  Kristofferson.  Back in my earlier years I had learned a pile from about

  three different albums. I took some time this Easter weekend & typed just 7

  of them in to the computer (I'm not that fast :)) 

  

  Silver (The Hunger)

  Kris Kristofferson

  >From the LP.. Who's To bless & who's to Blame

  

  

  A

  Silver was a rambler with a wicked reputation

   E                         D                A 

  Music was his magic & his madness rolled in one

  

  Said he'd charmed the fairest hearts of this world's fairest maidens

   E                           D             A

  Slick as silver mercury & slippery as the sun

  

  Winding like a river thru the thirsty world of strangers

    E                        E              A

  Carvin out a legend in a dream forsaken land

  

  Silver took his pleasures just as freely as he gave them

   E                                   D                 A

  Hungry eyes wern't quick enough for Silver's flashin' hand

       D                            A   

  Then once upon escaping from the world of silk & shadows

    Bm                           F#m 

  Sudden growin sicker off the secrets and the shame

        Bm             D                 E 

  He stumbled on to something green & beckoned like a candle

    A                                       A

  Never lookin back he surrendered to the flame

  

  

                 G 

  Cho..	Because hunger is the surface of a darkened pool of sadness

         D                           G

  	Silver's a reflection of a people deep below

  

  	And mystery & magic are the Holy Faults of madness

          D                                       Em    A

  	Sleepin as the exctassy slumbers in your soul

  

  

  

  Silver moved instinctively within her soft defences

  Soon unfolding mysteries he'd never seen before

  Naked need & ancient need she slipped inside his senses

  Silver took it as easy as the closin' of a door

  Soon he'd touch the secret fish he'd hidden with her sorrow

  Darken than her raven hair & deeper than her eyes

  There to drive to lead her thru the sunlight from the shadows

  Following the line between her laughter & her lies

  But Silver left his magic with a legend he'd abandoned

  Love had stripped him naked of illusions & it's charm

  And one long nighter changed his mind to be kinder to the stranger

  Morning found him movin' in the golden stranger's arms

  

  

  Cho..

  

  

  Silver stared in silence at the tangled scene before him

  Time was burning frozen in the ocean of his eyes

  Sadly turnin' backward to the world that he'd forsaken

  He donned the shinging mantle of deceptioned & disguise

  Slowly with the patience born of silent desperation

  Silver worked his way into the darkness of his mind

  Weavin' thru her consience like a chance she might have taken

  Sadder than the shadows of a love she'll never find

  And Silver's spell was stronger than the softly smiling stranger

  Who's star was burning smaller in the naked light of day

  Silver took her hand again a wiser man but sadder

  Ready for the stranger who'd steal her love away

  

  

  Cho..

  

  

  mmm  mmm  mmm
