Christopher Berry - Silver Buttons lyrics

You were a little bleary the first time we met So the night's proceedings you would not recall But I would never forget A little clumsy, but with tenderness Undoing all the silver bu*tons on my dress And both untouched by sleep Me, with eyes wide open You, in oblivion Never really making it to the same place at the same time But I never would've believed that it would end this way If you can't hold on tight then let go And that's all that I know Maybe today the rain will fall And the patterns there will show you Whether to stay or to go I held you while you cried for the loves you'd lost And listened while you re-invented your own past And when I'd had enough and was on my way You called me back again You never really wanted me, you just wanted the company Well, here's another name to add to your mythology If you can't hold on tight then let go And that's all that I know Maybe today the rain will fall And the patterns there will show you Whether to stay or to go
