Bonnie Raitt - Gnawin' On It lyrics

rate me

Take this silver lining<br />

Keep it in your own<br />

Sweet head<br />

And shine it when the night is<br />

Burning red<br />

Shine it in the twilight<br />

Shine it on the cold, cold ground<br />

Shine it till these walls<br />

Come tumbling down<br />

<br />

We were born with our eyes wide open<br />

So alive with wild hope now<br />

Can you tell me why<br />

Time after time they drag you down<br />

Down in the darkest deep<br />

Fools and their madness all around<br />

Know that the light don't sleep<br />

<br />

Step into the silence<br />

Take it in your own<br />

Two hands<br />

And sprinkle it like diamonds<br />

All across these lands<br />

Blaze it in the morning<br />

Wear it like an iron skin<br />

Only things worth living for are<br />

Innocence and magic, amen<br />

<br />

We were born with our eyes wide open<br />

So alive with wild hope now<br />

Can you tell me why<br />

Time after time they drag you down<br />

Down in the darkest deep<br />

Fools and their madness all around<br />

Know that the light don't sleep<br />

<br />

Woah, wooah<br />

<br />

We were born with our eyes wide open<br />

So alive with wild hope now<br />

Can you tell me why<br />

Time after time they drag you down<br />

Down in the talk so cheap<br />

Fools and their madness all around<br />

Know that the light don't sleep<br />

Know that the light don't sleep<br />

<br />

Time after time<br />

They drag you down<br />

Down in the darkness deep<br />

Fools in their madness all around<br />

Know that the light don't sleep<br />

Know that the light don't sleep
