She always knew the things to say She had a smile to end a frown Sometimes it seems she didn't notice Sometimes she dreams Sometimes she tries to dance She calls out "hi ho silver" from her chair She dreams of somehow saving the day
The chair a pressing door left open Her heart the key she always turns A locking peace no understanding It was all she knew And what she held on to
CHORUS:
She calls out "hi ho silver" from her chair (she calls out "hi ho silver") She dreams of somehow saving the day (she dreams) She rides out west into the sunset She knew she could; she'd somehow find a way
[BRIDGE]
Upon the legs that wouldn't carry Fly away around the sun And leave the misery for heaven And sometimes dream again the dance And as the grass grows through the concrete Life embraces bitter land She learned to trust; she learned to love She walked the dream; she walked the dance
