Bob Dylan - Silvo Lyrics

Stake my future on a hell of a past 
Looks like tomorrow is a coming on fast 
Ain't complaining about what I got 
Seen better times but who has not. 

Silvio silver and gold 
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold 
Silvio I gotta go 
Find out something only dead men know. 

Honest as the next jade rolling that stone 
When I come and knockin' don't throw me no bone 
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home 
If you don't like it you can leave me alone. 

I can snap my fingers and require the rain 
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again 
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain 
And charm the whistle of an evening train. 

Silvio silver and gold 
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold 
Silvio I gotta go 
Find out something only dead men know 

Give what I got until I got no more 
I take what I get until I even the score 
You know I love you and further more 
When it is time to go you got an open door. 

I can tell your fancy I can tell your plain 
You give something up for ev'rything you gain 
Since ev'ry pleasure's got an edge of pain 
Pay for your ticket and don't complain. 

Silvio silver and gold 
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold 
Silvio I gotta go 
Find out something only dead men know. 

One of these days and it won't be long 
Going down the valley and sing my song 
I will sing it loud and sing it strong 
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong. 

Silvio silver and gold 
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold 
Silvio I gotta go 
Find out something only dead men know.(repeat)
