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
