Lyle Lovett - Till It Shines Lyrics

Lyle Lovett Lyrics

"Till It Shines"
(feat. Keb Mo)
(from "Mumford")
(originally by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band)

Take away my inhibitions
Take away my solitude
Fire me up with your resistance
Put me in the mood

Storm the walls around this prison
Leave the inmates, free the guards
Deal me up another future
From some brand new deck of cards

Take the chip off of my shoulder
Smooth out all the lines
Take me out among the rustling pines
Till it shines
Till it shines

Like an echo down a canyon
Never coming back as clear
Lately I just judge the distance
Not the words I hear

I've been too long on these islands
I've been far too long alone
I've been too long without summer
In this winter home

Still if we can make the effort
If we take the time
Maybe we can leave this much behind
Till it shines
Till it shines

See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dies
Sitting there just testing all the wines
Till it shines
Till it shines
Till it shines
Till it shines...
