David Gray - Silver Lining lyrics

Take this silver lining

Keep it in your own sweet head

Shine it when the night is burning red

Shine it in the twilight

Shine it on the cold cold ground

Shine it till these walls come

Tumbling down

We were born with our eyes wide open

So alive with wild hope

Now can you tell me why

Time after time

They drag you down

Down in the darkness deep

Fools in their madness all around

Know that the light don't sleep

Step into the silence

Take it in your own two hands

And scatter it like diamonds

All across these lands

Blaze it in the morning

Wear it like an iron skin

Only things worth living for

Innocence and magic-amen

We were born with our eyes wide open

So alive with wild hope

Now can you tell me why

Time after time

They drag you down

Down in the darkness deep

Fools in their madness all around

Know that the light don't sleep

We were born with our eyes wide open

So alive with wild hope

Now can you tell me why

Time after time

They drag you down

Down with talk so cheap

Fools in their madness all around

-know that the light don't sleep

-know that the light don't sleep

Time after time

They drag you down

Down in the darkness deep

Fools in their madness all around

-know that the light don't sleep

-know that the light don't sleep
