Silver Wings of Time Billy Joe Shaver
"Billy Joe Shaver
SILVER WINGS OF TIME
Verse 1:
[F] The evening sun is sinking,moving [C/G]homeward
As darkened [Dm]shadows claim the fight they [A]won
With upturned[F] eyes closed from the light of [C/G]darkness
Dm A7 Dm <span style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
And two crossed hands that raised another's son<span style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
Verse 2:
Gone,oh [F]gone the one who really [C/G]loved me
For what i[Dm] was not what i ought to [A]be
Who never q[F]uestioned falling leaves in[C/G] autumn
Nor silver [Dm]nests built[A7] on a dying t[Dm]ree
Verse 3:
In gingham [F]gown she warmed me from the [C/G]coldness
The winter [Dm]nights seemed warm as summer[A]time
Another l[F]ove will never touch as d[C/G]eeply
As love that f[Dm]lew on s[A7]ilver wings of t[Dm]ime
Verse 4:
On pension [F]for the aged she raised a [C/G]young man
Who learned the [Dm]love of God and other t[A]hings
Now,love he k[F]new that twelve times warmed his [C/G]winter
Has flown a[Dm]way on [A7]time's bright silve[Dm]r wings
