Lyrics for Song: Silvery Rain
Lyrics for Album: Physical [1981]
Butterflies danced on invisible strings
Showing wings they borrowed from a rainbow
And a blackbird on high sang a praise to the sky
While a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
Furry backed bees with a tireless drone
Never moan, they're happy to be working
And a grasshopper green could be heard but not seen
While a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
Chorus:
Fly away, Peter, fly away, Paul, before there's nothing left to fly at all
Take to the sky, higher than high, before the silvery rain begins to fall
Nothing moves now but the swaying ripe corn
Not a dawn is greeted with a bird's song
There's a feather or two from a bird that once flew
Before a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
chorus
(Instrumental break)

Silvery Rain
Silvery Rain stands as a poignant song in Olivia Newton-John's celebrated discography, appearing on her 1981 blockbuster album Physical. During this era, Newton-John successfully transitioned from her earlier country-pop roots to a more polished, adult contemporary sound that dominated global charts. The track reflects the atmospheric production values characteristic of the album, blending soft rock sensibilities with the singer's signature emotive delivery. While the album is often remembered for its title track and dance-oriented hits, Silvery Rain offers a moment of introspection within the record's broader sonic landscape. This recording captures Newton-John at a peak moment of commercial success, showcasing her versatility as she navigated the shifting musical tides of the early 1980s. The song remains a testament to her enduring ability to craft melodic, heartfelt pop music that resonates with listeners across generations. |
