Rónán Karicos - Silvia Lyrics

Silvia brushes her hair in the dark
Wailing away at the moon
She's drank the town dry and sobering up
Somehow she's still out of tune

She takes your tissue
Cries that she'll miss you

Silvia, please dry your eyes dear
Don't make a fuss, you've suffered enough
It's past our time
Yet you're still standing here

Silvia, don't be a stranger
I know that it's rough
The truth can be tough
We're past our prime

So please dry your eyes dear

Silvia ponders on half-empty cups
Wondering if they're half-full
She pushes away at the looking-glass door
But the sign on the doorway says pull

She sleeps on the stairway
It's all work and no play

Silvia, please dry your eyes dear
Don't make a fuss, you've suffered enough
It's past our time
Yet you're still standing here

Silvia, don't be a stranger
I know that it's rough
The truth can be tough
We're past our prime

So please dry your eyes dear

Silvia waters a dead flowerbed
Out in the bleak winter cold
She's made it through November before
But this year has taken its toll

She's sick of trying
Tearlessly crying

Silvia, please dry your eyes dear
Don't make a fuss, you've suffered enough
It's past our time
Yet you're still standing here

Silvia, don't be a stranger
I know that it's rough
The truth can be tough
We're past our prime

You have nothing to fear
We'll try again next year
So please dry your eyes dear
