Fairport Convention - What Is True? Lyrics
(Sandy Denny)Silver tongues are speaking long and hard into the nightI must be myself and I'll do alrightOh, please my darling, do not make me sadLate at night nobody really wants to feel that badThe rain it beats impatiently upon the window paneI must close my ears or I'll go insaneCan't you be a gentle breeze or silent as a snowfallWon't you try and listen for the voice behind the wallIt cries to youchorus:Even though it only ever whispers part of what it knowsAnd it's never ventured through the locksWhere the brazen river flowsIt's the fingerprint which is never madeIt's the perfume of a roseAnd it is there if you are searchingBut the moment must be rightAs the night is black, as the day is whitePlease my friend, help to make me gladHelp me find the one and only thing I've never hadWhat is truechorus
