lyrics

When the winter comes calling
And the moon's on the wane
When the hickory's fallen
And I'm on the cane

With a lilt in my step, dear
And under my hat -
Silver threads, dear
Among the black

When you lie beside me
In your white lace and pearls
When the moonlight is ivory
In your ebony curls

On the pillows and bed, dear
And over the stack -
Silver threads, dear
Among the black

Never will I find
A color don't fade
Forever on my mind
No matter the shade

Not a tear will we shed, dear
For the hours we lack
There are silver threads, dear
Among the black

And when darlin' I've loved you
For all my many years
When the heaven above you
Is calling us near

In what lies ahead, dear
And what lies in back
Just silver threads, dear
Among the black
