David Gray Silver Lining song 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 darkness 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 scatter 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 darkness deep

Fools and 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 in the darkness deep

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
