[D] [Dm]
[D] On Silver Town Way, the cranes stand high, Quiet and gray against the still of the sky,
[Bb]
[Dm] They won't quit and lay down, though the action is dire.
[D] They watch the new game in town, on the black wall side,
From their [Dm] poisonous dreams, a vision appears, New circle of cranes, a new reason to be here,
Big silver dome, rising up into the dark, Above the church and new homes, where all the silver is gone, gone.
[Gm] Find a bucket of gold, what would [C] I do?
[Am]

[Dm] A silver [Bb] dawn, steals over [Dm] the dark, [Bb]
[Dm] A truck with [Bb] no wheels, up on Cinder Block,
[Dm] [Bb]
[Dm] And no dreams around fire in it, [Bb]
[Dm] Skull and [Bb] metal schemes are rusted over [Dm] and done, [Gm] done.

[Dm] Stand a [Bb] dawn in [Dm] dangerous [F] sights, [Bb]
[Dm] Not the [Bb] walking [Dm] horses and supplies,
[F] [Bb]
[Dm] But the way [Bb] you can turn away, [Dm] [F] [Bb]
[Dm] There's nothing [Bb] they can tell me I don't [Dm] already own.
