Three For Silver Proof
[Verse 1]
Let us go then, you and I
With the evening spread out against the sky
The world seems small when we're alone
Let the moon and stars be our home
[Chorus]
Do I dare? Do I dare?
Could I turn and descend that stair?
I want proof! I want proof!
Somehow I will live through my dying youth
I want proof
[Verse 2]
In the room, women come and go
Talking of Michalangelo
But when I speak I am not heard
I am the tree speaking to the birds
Would it have been worth it after all
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
Could I come back and tell you all
That is not what I meant at all
[Chorus]
I grow old! I grow old!
But on the beach I'll wear my trousers rolled
I want proof! I want proof!
Somehow I will live through my dying youth
I want proof!
[Verse 3]
I should have been born a ragged claw
Tearing at the seams of nature's law
But I'm just a jockey, and poorly used
Atop my body, neglected and confused
[Chorus]
We are bound! We are bound!
To sleep 'til we are woken
But then we drown
I want proof! I want proof!
Somehow I will live through my dying youth
I want proof
