Yngvarr Nowicki - Silver Sky (Official audio)

======= Silver Sky =======
(Verse 1)
He used to play for the crowd, felt like a king,
Chasing every note, chasing that dream,
But the dollars slipped through, like sand through his hand,
Now he's strumming for bums in some forgotten land.

(Pre-Chorus)
Had a life full of shows, full of bright lights,
But now it's just shadows in the dead of night.
No house, no job, just a bag full of dreams,
With a brand new guitar that don’t make no screams.

(Chorus)
Silver Sky, in his hands, a sweet melody,
He’s playing the blues for the bums on the street.
His pockets are empty, but his heart still beats,
Silver Sky Blues, for the ones who don’t eat.

(Verse 2)
He sold his old amp, his pedals, his gear,
Just to buy one more chance, just to get near
To the sound that he loved, but it led him so far,
Now he's playing for pennies, but he’s still a star.

(Pre-Chorus)
In a box by the alley, where the cold winds blow,
He plays for the homeless, where the lost souls go.
No crowds, no fame, just a voice in the dark,
But that Silver Sky sings like a heart full of spark.

(Chorus)
Silver Sky, in his hands, a sweet melody,
He’s playing the blues for the bums on the street.
His pockets are empty, but his heart still beats,
Silver Sky Blues, for the ones who don’t eat.

(Bridge)
He don’t need no fortune, no golden chains,
Just the sound of his guitar in the pouring rain.
From rags to the street, but he’s never alone,
The music's his home, the blues are his throne.

(Chorus)
Silver Sky, in his hands, a sweet melody,
He’s playing the blues for the bums on the street.
His pockets are empty, but his heart still beats,
Silver Sky Blues, for the ones who don’t eat.

(Outro)
Silver Sky, oh, silver sky,
He lost it all, but he’s still alive.
With every chord, and every sigh,
He’s playing the blues, and he’ll never die.
