Silvia lyrics
by Leonard Cohen
Silvia, Silvia, Silvia
I met you in the belly of a whale
Silvia, Silvia, Silvia
Oh, where did you fail?
Time passes slowly in the daylight
But I do not want to die
I met you in the belly of a wicked rhyme
And I read all your letters I could find
And the water is your friend
The water is your friend
And down and down and down you go
Gonna buy a red dress
And put feathers in your hair
And resurrect the finer things
I lost when you disappeared
Breaking on the daylight
They put flowers round your grave
And I sang a silly song for you
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Silvia, Silvia
Silvia, Silvia, Silvia
I met you in the belly of a whale
Silvia, Silvia, Silvia
Oh where did you fail?
And the water is your friend
The water is your friend
And down and down and down you go
Gonna buy a red dress
And put feathers in your hair
And resurrect the finer things
I lost when you disappeared
Breaking on the daylight
They put flowers round your grave
And I sang a silly song for you
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Silvia, Silvia
