who are you, silver boy,
who carries my heart in his pouch of knickknacks;
who takes my hand and leads me nowhere;
who sees me flying by and wanders away;
a gallant, noble man, yet he fights like a recreant.
honourable boy, heroic boy,
i've followed you in longing for so long it seems.
the watchful little bird, who's eyes shine for you,
i've clipped my wings, take me as i am.
hold me in your arms and take me on.
when you fight, fight for me.
try your hardest, that's all you have to do.
remember you are always on my mind,
because you are my protector,
my warrior,
my boy in silver.
