Shine On Songtext
von 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 stone
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

Words shine on like precious stone
Judgment day, the truth be known
The miles and years make it better
Through gilded tears

Words shine on like precious stone
Judgment day, the truth be known
The miles and years make it better
Through gilded tears

Miles and years make it better
Through gilded tears
