(michael lunn/michael noble)



She knows what's been keepin' him out too late

She never was the kind to sit around and wait

She loosened the locket he gave her

She took off her wedding band

And when he gets home he'll find

All she's left behind is



Silver and gold

Haven't they lost their shine

Tonight she let go for the last time

Just silver and gold

Ties that no longer bind her

Now he's left alone with silver and gold



He could've kept her love so easily

It wasn't like she didn't try to make him see

But once she made up her mind

There was no turnin' back

And he's gonna understand

When all he's holdin' in his hands is



Silver and gold

Haven't they lost their shine

Tonight she let go for the last time

Just silver and gold

Ties that no longer bind her

Now he's left alone with silver and gold



And what once was sacred, only yesterday

They don't mean a thing as she walks away



Silver and gold

Haven't they lost their shine

Tonight she let go for the last time

Just silver and gold

Ties that no longer bind her

Now he's left alone with silver and gold
