Real Light Lyrics by The Jayhawks

Tomorrow the Green Grass

1995

[Chorus]
Keep my real light shining
Keep my real light shining

[Verse 1]
You were there to walk for miles
Then you went away
Look at all the ways we've been
And how we've been today
Shaking like a friend of mine
Roll just like a stone
Listen to your eyes and I'll
Always let you know

[Chorus]
Keep my real light shining
Keep my real light shining
Keep my real light shining, shining, shining down
Shining, shining, shining down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
People fight, criticize, follow in the haze
Look behind their peace of mind
Some things never change

[Chorus]
Keep my real light shining
Keep my real light shining
Keep my real light shining, shining, shining down
Shining, shining, shining down
Shining, shining, shining down

[Guitar Solo]
