She knows what's been keepin' him out too late She never was the kind to sit around and wait She loosened the locket he gave her She took off her wedding band And when he gets home he'll find All she's left behind is Silver and gold Haven't they lost their shine Tonight she let go for the last time Just silver and gold Ties that no longer bind her Now he's left alone with silver and gold He could've kept her love so easily It wasn't like she didn't try to make him see But once she made up her mind There was no turnin' back And he's gonna understand When all he's holdin' in his hands is Silver and gold Haven't they lost their shine Tonight she let go for the last time Just silver and gold Ties that no longer bind her Now he's left alone with silver and gold And what once was sacred, only yesterday They don't mean a thing as she walks away Silver and gold Haven't they lost their shine Tonight she let go for the last time Just silver and gold Ties that no longer bind her Now he's left alone with silver and gold
