McMillan, John Mark - Silver Shore Lyrics






Billowing hills
Shoulders of steel
Hide behind faces of glass

The midnight tallies
The street light valleys
Recollections of our past
These thoughts of home

And tonight we sleep
With lions all around
In furnaces of fire we sleep
Tonight we sleep
With lions all around
In furnaces of fire we sleep

We're ghosts inside of our bodies
Naked inside of our clothes
We're all terrified of the writhing ocean tide
But our pockets are all full of hope
These thoughts of home

And tonight we sleep
With lions all around
In furnaces of fire we sleep
Tonight we sleep
With lions all around
In furnaces of fire we sleep

We were born on heaven's silver shores
I know it in my heart there's more to be afforded

We were born on heaven's silver shores
I know it in my heart there's more to be afforded

Did I hear you in the driving rain
I swear somebody was calling my name again

We were born on heaven's silver shores
I know it in my heart there's more to be afforded

We were born on heaven's silver shores
I know it in my heart there's more to be afforded

We were made for the other side of the lake
It's more than we can take
The fever's gonna break for us

We were born on heaven's silver shores
I know it in my heart there's more to be afforded

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Billowing hills
    Shoulders of steel
    Hide behind faces of glass

    [Verse 2]
    The midnight tallies
    The street light valleys
    Recollections of our past
    These thoughts of home

    [Chorus]
    And tonight we sleep
    With lions all around
    In furnaces of fire we sleep
    Tonight we sleep
    With lions all around
    In furnaces of fire we sleep

    [Verse 3]
    We’re ghosts inside of our bodies
    Naked inside of our clothes
    We’re all terrified of the writhing ocean tide
    But our pockets are all full of hope
    These thoughts of home

    [Chorus]
    And tonight we sleep
    With lions all around
    In furnaces of fire we sleep
    Tonight we sleep
    With lions all around
    In furnaces of fire we sleep

    [Bridge 1]x2
    We were born on heaven’s silver shores
    I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded

    [Bridge 2]
    Did I hear you in the driving rain
    I swear somebody was calling my name again

    [Bridge 1]
    We were born on heaven’s silver shores
    I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded

    [Outro]
    We were made for the other side of the lake
    It’s more than we can take
    The fever’s gonna break I know it's gonna break for us

    In furnaces of fire we sleep

    We were born on heaven’s silver shores
    I know it in my heart there’s more to be afforded     (x 2)

    Did I hear you in the driving rain

    The fever’s gonna break
    I know it's gonna break for us

    Russell Reihart, I’m always so frustrated that he’s not more popular than he already is. Then, I have to remember that it’s an acquired taste.
