Son Volt - Shine On lyrics

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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus: x2] Miles and years make it better Through gilded tears
