Silver Lining Lyrics:
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 in 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, yeah yeah yeah
Blaze it in the morning
Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for
Innocence and magic, amen
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
Falls in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
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 in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep

All of us who are listening to him are special very fine people because he is a very special fine singer, that’s why sadly he’s not widely known. But we are here to keep him alive ❤️

[@bluerineimb1148]

Well I've just made a playlist called,some of my favs & 3 of his songs is on it

[@emiliacanet9960]

2023 still listening

[@mycatlovestowatchtv5065]

😊😊😊❤❤❤👌👌👌

[@mlsjuge477]

I wouldn’t say he wasn’t widely known. He’s big. Assuming he’s a multimillionaire. I really like David. I would agree he’s underrated. I’d say he’s an extremely good songwriter and melodist. Marginally shy of great.

Facts❤

[@matambale]

So alive with wild hope now

[@keithfoley3522]

Only thing worth living for... Innocence and magic. One of the greatest lines in any tune I've loved.. Saw David in Manchester,and 3 times in Sydney... The Dylan of this century....

[@IfNotNow_Wendy]

Went to New York for an art show, the hotels were sold out. We decided to sleep in the back of our suburban, my husband and I. He went in the store came out with a couple pillows, and this CD. Best days.

[@keithfoley3522]

Great memories.

[@OLLIEabbie99]

Who' are the obtuse crazies that gave this masterpiece a thumbs down? This guy is pure genius..

[@g-girl9867]

@@boxingbrenno I know! Perfect!

[@Erin-uz2gf]

I used to love to turn this up really loud and sing along with it, swaying in my living room. It gave me the calmest, happiest peace in my heart. Haven't done that in many years now. Much love to you David.

[@iknowyoureright8564]

Now is as good a time as ever Erin. I know what you mean.

[@g-girl9867]

Yes, sweet. This lazy hazy slow smiling song is perfection.

[@jeffmunger]

Well get on it

[@dewey-cox]

so beautiful in so many ways.

[@keithfoley3522]

Time to revisit my friend..

[@fetcorran1]

Some years ago i was listening to this tune on a beach in koh phangan i Thailand. It was in the afternoon and the bar at the beach was empty of people. Only me in a sunchair with the music, hot breeze and waves coming in slowly. I had a drink in my hand an i thought that im in paradise now. If i die here , i die in a good place and i die happy. Sweet memories.

[@stevenrichardson9880]

I live in samui am on my house porch looking at the mountains now same feeling listening.

[@tdog65654]

Love Thailand

[@leehamill4445]

I listened to White Ladder again after about 20 years or so. It was magical, plain and simple. You kinda forget great albums over the years, but when you listen to them it opens up all sorts of emotions.

[@slinkerdeer]

I'm a 21 year old male and this song brings tears to my eyes

[@thegreatgrumdini]

Criminally underrated song ❤

It must be the first time since Morrison's Astral Weeks that an artist has managed to condense so much exhuberance and despair. Utterly uplifting!

[@MichaelHoare-bh5pg]

I think that David may have been influenced by "Astral Weeks" when he made the "White Ladder" album.

[@lwilson6133]

Pretty sure both my kids were conceived to this album 😂💛🤔 seriously thou anyone else??? 😮 😂???

Ended up working in BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION charity shop n ENJOYED MY WORK

This song is the reason I became a fan and listened to the Album and it was on constantly if I was truthful It was Babylon that put me off it was everywhere not as bad as WetWetWet run

If Bonnie Rait can cover this track what can I say....

[@matambale]

yeah that was a great cover

[@josebay9274]

posted 04-30-2012, "There's at least some ready to light fire and revolutionary 'social commentary' passion in this song. Yes, the instrumentation is chilling, relaxing and sonic. But the lyrics have venom. I feel David Gray is feeling isolated and lonely at the world; its eerie dark SNOBBISH UNCARING $ELFISH silences of Western Suburbia, night after night & aeon upon aeon. We yearn with him to recapture the innocence & untainted hope of childhood & ''wild'' birth, now marred in adulthood (even tainted teenage years) by the rat race STUCK UP a$$ pursuits of modern capitalism. Definitely hints of John Lennon, so go DG! '...never noticing the war until it's right there at your door...' , '...hold on to nothing so write it down...'"

[@BMindfulofLove]

Damn well said. You said it perfectly.

[@stephaniedurham523]

This song needs an acoustic remake. The silly synthesizer takes away from this beautiful song.

[@tensago]

simple edit will do the trick ;-)

[@pepsifire7361]

To me it adds the imagery of a snowy cold winter night walking around town with my head down as all the Christmas lights are shining

[@gauravoberoi962]

i think it adds some original/organic feel, so that it doesn't look too plastic and perfect, coz it doesn't have to.

[@UproarScotland]

We'l let david know 👍
