Gordon Lightfoot - By The Light of the Silvery Spoon Lyrics

I live by the light of the silvery spoon
I'll take you off sailing from midnight til noon
I'll show you the sea of tranquility
You can have any flavor you happen to see

I live by the light of the silvery spoon
And a jolly good morning to the good folks who do
Come fill up your heads til your eyes turn red
And we'll all go out sailing, good morning to you

I live in the shade of a mountain of white
If you need recreation you can have some tonight
I'll take you up there where the air is rare
And the sky is so blue it will make you take flight

I live by the light of the silvery spoon
I'm a man of good fashion though seldom well groomed
And my little flame she plays the game
She's the one that I dream of, I dance to her name

So if you've got the time and you'd like to fall by
Come down around midnight and give her a try
'Cause my little flame she plays the game
She's the one that I dream of, I dance to her name

I live by the light of the silvery spoon
I'll take you off sailing from midnight til noon
I'll show you the sea of tranquility
You can have any flavor you happen to see
