Bonnie Raitt Silver Lining Lyrics

Silver Lining Lyrics

Silver Lining

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
