Gold and Silver Lyrics

Love could never live here
In a house that is so cold
The windows bolted down for good
The window panes are dull
The floor it creaks with every step
And echoes through the air
'Til it's swallowed up by silence
Through the cracks and down the stairs
Chorus:
Years slip by
Treasures fade
Gold and silver lose their l***er
Moments pass away
Taken down the pictures
That used to cover up these walls
The lights no longer work
In empty rooms and empty halls
Scattered books across the shelves
And strewn across the floor
Stacked like ghostly towers
No one reads them any more

Chorus
Love could never live here
In a house that is so cold
The windows bolted down for good
The window panes are dull
