One is silver and the other’s gold
One is started as the other’s old
Done departing but the stain’s in my eye
Done complaining wanna sort out a life
Then

Stepped to the gate

Shine in an eye

Set up a date

Left it to die

Skip on a lake

Bumps on the flight



A sun in the eyes

A wind at the back

A cut of the deck



But I want to tell you

It is a victory for you

And I give this to you

Part of a thank you to you

Though the differences split

Its only good things for you

And there’s slip ups its true

Only wishing good things do



One is clever and the others dolt

Both with leather of the others coat

Some retreating in the back of a cab

One recoiling in the arms of a cop



Two

Far as the flesh

Really a mess

Grit of the ash

Letting them lie

Given a poke

Loving them all



A sun in the eyes

A wind at the back

A cut of the deck



But I want to tell you

It is a victory for you

And I give this to you

Part of a thank you to you

Though the differences split

It’s only good things for you

And there’s slip ups it’s true

Only wishing good things do
