Raitt Bonnie - Silver Lining lyrics

Take this silver lining

Keep it in your own

Sweet head

And 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 darkest deep

Fools and their madness all around

Know that the light don't sleep

Step into the silence

Take it in your own

Two hands

And sprinkle it like diamonds

All across these lands

Blaze it in the morning

Wear it like an iron skin

Only things worth living for are

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 darkest deep

Fools and their madness all around

Know that the light don't sleep

Woah, wooah

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 talk so cheap

Fools and 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
