This is a hard one.At a UK Youth Hostel(Tanners Hatch),I heard this song one evening whilst participating in a 'folk music round the fire-side all nighter'. Some of the words are below.I have been told by the guy singing it,it has been deleted from sale.He isn't about for me to get the full words and chords.Has anyone any clue to it's origins? Who did this lovely song? I was told the title is 'Silver Coin'.May be wrong,I do not know for sure. Well,it is up to you now,I suppose! Joe Now that I'm older Now that I'm old enough to know, What it is to be lonesome. What it is to be without a home. I've a friend in mind,who loves me rain or shine. Don't ask me why... Her younger eyes are so much older eyes than mine. |

I thought I was well-read, wouldn't have to ask her for a lead
And I ran all the way here to be the first to see the morning star |

Bridget St John also recorded it on her album "Thank You for...." (1972). There are other songs with the same title. |

From: cptsnapper Hunter Muskett Composer: Terry Hiscock 1/ Now that I'm older though I'm not old enough to know what it is to be lonely, what it is to be without a home but I've a friend nearby who loves me rain or shine. Don't ask me why but her younger eyes are so much older eyes than mine. 2/ I thought I was well-read, wouldn't have to ask her for a lead 'til I read what her eyes said, then I knew there was nothing more to read, nothing more to do and nothing more to say but give all my words away to someone who needs them who can't find a girl like you 3/ And I ran all the way here to be the first to see the morning star. There were others before me for the sounds of beauty travel far, I hear it loud and clear and it rings like the silver coin thrown down on stone, 'though I'm lost in the crowd I know you're around me somehow |

23 Jun 14 - 06:47 PM (#3636150) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Silver coin? From: JHW I heard Barbara Dickson sing this a number of times but found it more appealling when it was elusive. Once I had Archie Fisher singing it on 'Sunsets I've Travelled Into' I decided not to learn it after all (but did learn The Presence from that album). |
