Silver Linin'                 © GregBrooks, GW Morris 2017     
 
It's a lonely autumn morning
On this West Virginia ridge
These clouds just seem to chill me to the bone
Well I wish I knew but I just can't tell
If I'll ever find home
The only thing I know is I'm alone
 
Silver clouds there ain't no linin'
To my pockets I'm alone
Been twenty years of searchin'
For my home
Out of  luck I'm out of money
The good times are all gone
The future ain't no brighter
Than the dawn
 
Reach into my pocket
Thank I'll have a smoke
It's the only comfort now that's left around
I thought I made some progress
When I left my city life
These solitary hours get me down
 
Silver clouds there ain't no linin'
To my pockets I'm alone
Been twenty years of searchin'
For my home
Out of  luck I'm out of money
The good times are all gone
The future ain't brighter
Than the dawn
 
Well maybe if I find some work
To occupy my time
Oh a women who could keep me from the cold
Well the prospects ain't no brighter
And I'm trying to find relief
From this darkness that keeps crawling  on my soul
 
Silver clouds there ain't no linin'
To my pockets I'm alone
Been twenty years of searchin'
For my home
Out of  luck I'm out of money
The good times are all gone
The future ain't no brighter
Than the dawn
 
Silver clouds there ain't no linin'
To my pockets I'm alone
