Silver Lining Lyrics - White Ladder - David Gray

Take this silver lining, keep it in your own sweet head 

And shine it when the night is burning red 

Shine it in the twilight 

Shine it on the cold, cold ground 

Shine it till these walls come tumbling down 

We were born with our eyes wide open 

So alive with wild hope now 

Can you tell me why 

Time after time they drag you down 

Down in the darkness deep 

Fools and their madness all around 

Know that the light don't sleep 

Step into the silence take it in your own two hands 

And scatter it like diamonds 

All across these lands 

Blaze it in the morning wear it like an iron skin 

Only things worth living for are innocence and magic, amen
