From the recording Blue Book
Lyrics
I am not gold I'm only silver and I shine with a cold blue light do not hold me to what I can't deliver it's a hard-won prize it ain't worth the fight there are days you might mistake me for a precious jewel buried in a stone but you'd best look beyond your longing go find a girl who's flesh and bone I am not gold I'm only silver and I shine with a cold blue light do not hold me to what I can't deliver it's a hard-won prize it ain't worth the fight I sing one song at the baby's cradle another song when death takes a heart I sing two songs they tell one story and you cannot break the two apart I sing two songs they tell one story and you cannot break the two apart
