  • Tired of drifting, searching, shifting
    From town to town
    Everytime I slip and slide
    A little further down
    I can't blame you if you wont take me back
    After everything I put you through
    But honey you're me last hope
    And who else can I turn to?

    Come on Silver Lady take my word
    I won't run out on you again believe me
    Oh I've seen the light
    It's just one more night without you
    Here I am a million miles away from home
    The Indiana wind and rain cut through me
    I'm lost and alone
    Chilled to the bone
    Silver lady

    Double talkers and back street walkers
    In every turn
    Seedy motels and no star hotels
    Still I had to learn
    That the one shining thing in my life
    Was the sweet love I had with you
    And honey your my last hope
    And who else can I turn to?

    Come on Silver Lady take my word
    I won't run out on you again believe me
    Oh I've seen the light
    It's just one more night without you
    Here I am a million miles away from home
    The Indiana wind and rain cut through me
    I'm lost and alone
    Chilled to the bone
    Silver lady

    Can't you find it in you to forgive me
    'Cause here I am a million miles away from home
    The Indiana wind and rain cut through me
    I'm lost and alone
    Chilled to the bone
    Silver lady

    Come on Silver Lady take my word
    I won't run out on you again believe me
    Oh I've seen the light
    It's just one more night without you Writer/s: Geoffrey Stephens, Tony Macaulay
