lyrics

Silver Spoon © Kym Pitman


Born to the mist like his fathers before
Making shoes for the rich with hides of the poor
A young wife and children and the wolf’s at the door
It’s harsh and its hungry no thanks to the law
His time came too soon
He took just one silver spoon

Through wild desperate waters and there’s no sky above
When you’re tied down below leaving all that you love
Sentenced to life now in Van Demons Land
To be tortured and chained by the same brutal hand
Some nights the quiet moon
Shines like a silver spoon

And sweet Caroline you stand by the water
In my troubled mind
And I can’t turn the boat around
Can’t turn the boat around

When they’d stolen his spirit they took off his chains
Pardoned his theft on condition he stayed
This strange place was home now to a free broken man
As the bounty sailed on to the great southern land
With her face pale as the moon
Cold like a silver spoon

And sweet Mary-Anne old Irelands fair daughter
Take these rough hands
Maybe help turn the boat around
Help turn the boat around

On the land of the serpent, dreaming time
They made love to each other making new blood new lines
I am a daughter now of this land
Where deep native waters met oceans of sand
Some nights the quiet moon
Shines like that silver spoon

And sweet Caroline you stand by the water
Like a ghost in my mind
As the boats keep on sailing in
We can’t turn the boats around
No we can’t turn the boats around
