THE SILVER LINING
Words and music by Sarah McQuaid
Recorded on Walking Into White (2015)
I am constantly amazed
By the providential nature
Of the choices that I didn’t think I made
Sometimes it’s good to miss the boat
The ship that sails could fail to float
The job that you were after
Was a trap and you’ll be happier without it
I don’t mind the sun not shining
I can see the silver lining
Through the rain
There’s no method to my madness
And I can’t help feeling sad when
Things don’t turn out quite the way I thought I planned them
But when I look back on my life
I see things in a different light
And nothing’s ever wasted
Cos one day you might be grateful that you did it
I don’t mind the sun not shining
I can see the silver lining
Through the rain
We’re been through some heavy weather
Running hard and falling far behind
But up ahead the clouds are lifting
And they say the wind is shifting
I believe the wrong things happen
At the right time
I don’t mind the sun not shining
I can see the silver lining
Through the rain
