(Sandy Denny) Silver tongues are speaking long and hard into the night I must be myself and I'll do alright Oh, please my darling, do not make me sad Late at night nobody really wants to feel that bad The rain it beats impatiently upon the window pane I must close my ears or I'll go insane Can't you be a gentle breeze or silent as a snowfall Won't you try and listen for the voice behind the wall It cries to you chorus: Even though it only ever whispers part of what it knows And it's never ventured through the locks Where the brazen river flows It's the fingerprint which is never made It's the perfume of a rose And it is there if you are searching But the moment must be right As the night is black, as the day is white Please my friend, help to make me glad Help me find the one and only thing I've never had What is true chorus
