Lyrics Shine On - Son Volt

Shine On

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
