Shine On Lyrics - Honky Tonk - 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 

[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
