My heart calls out to thee,
Silverado, Silverado
Land of the fearful free
Silverado, desert land.
My friends tell me I'm mad,
Silverado, Silverado
I've left them to be sad
Silverado, umber sand.
My feet are walking on,
Silverado, Silverado
They will walk when I am gone,
Silverado, sunset flame
My body tires now,
Silverado, Silverado
I can't give in anyhow,
Silverado, never tamed.
My only hope is to see,
Silverado, Silverado
In your light I wish to be,
Silverado, cruel knife
Upon the ground I lie
Silverado, Silverado
Nothing left to do but die,
Silverado, final life.
