Shine On - Son Volt

Going for broke in a film noir smile

Know it’s hard to your easy start

You don’t let the clicks or injustice get you down

There’s more to find than what you pick up

Sometimes the furthest isn’t quite enough

Shadows are good companions for the lot that you say

The world’s deserted and down

Like there’s no love around

The river of life cuts across

Hearts no longer entwine

Words shine on like precious stones

Judgment day, the truth be known

The miles and years make it better

Through gilded tears

Race around to the rattling drone

Diamonds in the distance make the battle sound

Equilibrium found on the outskirts of any town

The world’s deserted and down

Like there’s no love around

The river of life cuts across

Hearts no longer entwine

Miles and years make it better

Through gilded tears
