Your Hope Shines Lyrics - Walkabouts

Lay my body down 

By the shallows of the creek 

You can lay my body down 

Lay me in your reach 

And when my body's down 

We'll steal the thunder from the rain 

And when my body's down 

We'll shake the dirt right from the pain 

I was going nowhere 

Nowhere very fast 

Threw my poison out the window 

But it came blowin' back 

Out along the highway 

Right through the night of crime 

Somewhere in the darkness 

Your hope shined 

Whisper wisdom's words 

You can whisper wisdom's lies 

But all of wisdom's words 

Never helped me to survive 

Days of all my arrogance 

When you were not afraid 

Threw my paycheck out the window 

You threw it all away 

Walked the devil's highway 

Across the county line 

Somewhere in the darkness 

Your hope shined 

Your hope shined, your hope shined X2 

Walked the devil's highway, across the county line 

But your hope shined, your hope shined 

First light in the mornin', right through the night of crime 

Your hope shined, your hope shined 

Lay my body down 

By the shallows of the creek
