Find Some Time Its simple when I’m lying on my back staring at the clouds To feel as though I’m right where I need to be Possibility aint reality its just something that burns inside Fuel to build the world our own desires Every time I’m able I try to think of my old backyard Walk along the fence try not to fall Buried in the flowerbed is my oldest childhood friend His kisses were my savior way back then. If you find some time come and lay down by my side in the clovers If that moment does arise and were staring at the sky rolling over we’ll feel alright Its simple when I’m lying on my back staring at the sky Gaze upon the clouds as they go by Underneath the old shade tree I dream what life will be If when I think of you will you think of me I know at times I’ve left you from my mind but youre with me now You bring me to my sweetest misery With you in my heart my heart I carve your name into a tree A scar to leave the world our memory If you find some time come and lay down by my side in the clovers If that moment does arise and were staring at the sky rolling over we’ll be alright

I had to leave here or I’d blow up the ship Under complacencies hand Spent nine years trying babe there aint no change You just don’t understand Of all the people that came into your life You felt that I was the one Wrapped me up & tried to hold me so tight Squeezed the life from my blood Chorus: Your on your own sweet darlin’ Your on your own my love Take back your heart I don’t want it no more We parted ways you tried to put up a fight You shed an hour of tears Your heart was bleeding through the length of the night You told me all of your fears You started talking bout the pain that I cause Your hands they clenched to a fist You came & found me at watering hole to plant one on my lips …To Chorus All you wanted was for people to see you had treated me good you lost the lover that he needed in me I’d given all that I could I turned away and left you to your disease A frightful hour it was A broken love will leave you down on your knees You’re left to clean up the blood …To Chorus

Come Back Home Every time I go away that’s when you’re good to me Every time I leave you here you say you need me again Come back to me my love please don’t leave me alone Come back to me my love come back home Every time I’m here with you, you seem to disappear Every time I look for you I find the doors are all closed Come back for what my love we’ll still be alone Come back to me my love come back home Don’t want to leave just to learn All I needed was inside your heart Thinking bout you every night you were my everything, Everything you ever want, you know I want for you too Come back to me my love, come back home Come back to me my love come back home Don’t want to leave just to learn All I needed was inside your heart Every time I go away that’s when you’re good to me Every time I’m here with you, I find the doors are all closed.

Darlin You Can Stay Oh darlin’ is it true our time is really through And breaking up is in our plans After many years of love, it seems we lost our way And now you’ve found some other man Been down this road before we’d still come back for more Sweetheart I saying I’ve been true Though we had our fights and I had to work long nights My heart was still at home with you Go your own way or darlin you can stay But our past won’t ever be undone But if you go away I pray it won’t be long Until you’re happy on your own I lay alone at night wishing I could hold you tight Man I start to feeling blue That sparkle in your eye no longer shines for mine Cause now you’re lovin someone new Go your own way or darlin you can stay But our past won’t ever be undone But if you go away I pray it won’t be long Until you’re happy on your own

Wake me up, for some early dreaming We’ll travel the line, the oceans steady breathing Where children run away so water don’t touch their feet Pick me up, take me down to Rio Settle me down, I’m all wound up to be yours, again Where high on a cliff we dangle our feet Moon high above lights the oceans wave and I feel Born again. Looking back, the oceans washed my footprints All around, all I’ve got is silence I wanna run away but the sand has buried my feet All our lives, all we’ve got inside us And we’ll try to follow our best guidance Steady as she blows with these treasures at hand There’s no better place than to walk this side of fantasy. Early morning dreaming.

Earthly Bed 03:28
I’m gonna go home to my mother I’m gonna go home to my dad I’m gonna go home to my sister When my long roads at its end I can hear their voices calling Lord they call all through my head Singing proud and always haunting Till I lay my earthly bed I’m gonna go when they call me Try to find my way back home Oh my lord, be there to guide me When my love is burning low And let light keep on shining All through my soul all through my soul Tell them lord I’m coming home Tell them lord I’m coming home I’m gonna go home to my mother I’m gonna go home to my dad I’m gonna go home to my sister When my long roads at its end

You’re Still On My Mind I been thinking bout you honey since the day you left & how you never turned around no doubt you carried in you heart your minds made up and you walked out we traveled on empty many miles on down the road our problems took a heavy load but still we managed to hold tight our life together has lost hold Now your gone Your still on my mind Try to find some way to get through life Without your gentle ways along my side My love & affection seldom left my lips Long days & nights did come and go Silence fell upon your ear That’s why you left me on my own My eyes fill up with tears there’s darkness day and night My heart can’t find it’s way I try but nothings feeling right Without you in my life the sun won’t shine. CHORUS Now your gone and there’s nothing left to hide Try to find some way to get through life Without your gentle way along my side Without your gentle way along my side

When It Is My Time When it is my time make me a part of the immortal and vast Spread me out on the earth where water returns to the air To come again as the rain When it is my time spread my ashes out on the breeze Let the birds fly me through seasons So I can see earth from their wings Well the world goes round in circles Doesn’t matter when I die or when I rise Time has no destination You might par the course fair expectation When it is my time let me die with my hammer in hand Take me out of this life if I’ve no songs to sing Don’t wanna know dyins pain When it is my time sing me a song that settles my soul Sing me a song my mother once sang When her heart I did hold And the world goes round in circles Doesn’t matter when I die or when I rise Time has no destination You might Par the course fair expectation.

Pull In On The Reins Still the passing of the torch The sounds of traffic roll Music will record the birds and bees The thunders and the rains will call From over mountains peaks Rumble go the train wheels over steel Only wish I’d seen you before you left my dear I wish that I had seen you before it was too late Heard the breezes whispers that carried on its wings So I could know the present in the way I know it now And I could pull in on the reigns & slow the horses down On my way to town to see you, bury you in the ground and grieve Pull in on the reigns…go slowly Pull in on the reigns… Moon will glow & tides will rise Waves roll on the beach Crashing waters wash the sands to sea A witness to the wonderful Of silence and of peace Fly the blackbirds off to warmer trees Only wish I’d had seen you before you left my dear (Chorus) Miss your breathing while you sleep While sailing off to dream You held me in your arms where I could weep Now laughter and the pain are like The beauty and the beast Live within my dreams and memories Only wish I’d seen you before you left my dear (Chorus)

about

Marc Silver & The Stonethrowers Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“Marc Silver is living proof that singer/songwriters don’t need to shout outrageously shocking lyrical lines in order to attract well-deserved attention…His confessional songs draw you in, rather than drag you along… a truly noteworthy artist that walks quietly, but carries a big gift.” Dan MacIntosh, [Spin]

Marc works as a solo artist, and with his Bluegrass/Americana Band The Stonethrowers.
