Ryan Adams - Shine Through The Dark Lyrics






One, two, three, four
Whatever happened to the old me
Whatever happened to us
Whatever it was it doesn’t matter now
Those days went speeding by
And left us in the dust
The car's on empty
It rattles and rusts

Whatever misses is permanent
A red wine stain or a scar
Like one of those if you flip the negative
Knew who I was, and even before
I even knew
Now just look who we are

And these wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every blurry moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night

You know that house I don't want to buy
I want to buy it for you
The walls are made out of the wishes I make
When I close my eyes
And I’m lying here with you

Whatever misses is everything
My feet are sore and blue
Everything I ever said I did before
Was just to get me here
Get me here next to you

And these wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
These wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night

Shining through the dark of the night

  11. G.... C....

    Cindy cashdollar added something special and it became better than the album version

  12. D.... T....

    Fabtastic version! Way better than the studio

  13. G.... G....

    Shinin through the dogs of the night

  14. l.... D....

    I love this song

  15. E.... 1....

    This should have a lot more views. Amazing song

  16. s.... ....

    Wow that was a great.  the dobro adds so much, that now when I hear other versions... Well sounds like some thing is missing

  17. J.... N....

    This song is absolute fire! Don’t know why it has been left off of the last few albums

  18. G.... G....

    “Shining through the dogs of the night”

  19. D.... T....

    Any other original whiskeytown fans out there?

    D.... T....

    "houses on the hill" is where it's at

  20. M.... O....

    the dobro fills are so solid.

    M.... O....

    very tasteful licks

  21. B.... H....

    This song is perfect

  22. C.... D....

    So un fair to Mandy Moore waste 6 years of her life .

    C.... D....

    She's demanding alimony for her pets, something like $20,000+ a month for some cats... He on the other hand, has kept his personal affairs private, not sharing with Entertainment Weekly, gossip columnists, seems like he's the good guy here. But, it's not my business to speculate on who is wrong or right.

    C.... D....

    I think they settled it from what the paper said and he doesn't have to pay they are just paying mortgage on the house until it sells I guess it said he was legally divorced now from her :) Hopefully he marries Miss Butterworth and makes alot of babies :)

    C.... D....

    It would be nice to see him happy for once :)

  23. h.... ....

    Cindy Cashdollar is great, she did an amazing job with Levon Helm's daughter Amy Helm on NYE 2015! check it!

  24. b.... k....

    b.... k....

    @bob kat This is RA's. Only appears in the movie and on the soundtrack.

    b.... k....

    @bob kat Both........He changed his original version up significantly.

    b.... k....

    MrRondonmon you are right, and this is 100% better.

  25. D.... B....

    tennesee sucks 

  26. M.... E....

    Very artistic... Lost for words. Been listening to this for about x100 times

  27. P.... L....

    This is actually better than the studio version because of the dobro

    P.... L....

    zactly...

  28. D.... S....

    Never knew of Ryan until I saw him sing this at the end of "This is 40" which is a damn funny movie by the way.  So glad I know of Ryan - fantastic then and now.

    D.... S....

    @Daisy Sanders Me as well- I saw this at 40 and thre song and movie made me reflect on myself and my wife- sounds cheesy I guess but it did, I can't lie.

    Whatever happened to the old me
    Whatever happened to us
    Whatever it was it doesn’t matter now
    Those days went speeding by
    And left us in the dust
    The car's on empty
    It rattles and rusts

    Whatever misses is permanent
    A red wine stain or a scar
    Like one of those if you flip the negative
    Knew who I was, and even before
    I even knew
    Now just look who we are

    And these wheels turn fast
    These wheels turn bright
    Reflecting every blurry moon that long goes shining
    Shining through the dark of the night
    Shining through the dark of the night

    You know that house I don't want to buy
    I want to buy it for you
    The walls are made out of the wishes I make
    When I close my eyes
    And I’m lying here with you

    Whatever misses is everything
    My feet are sore and blue
    Everything I ever said I did before
    Was just to get me here
    Get me here next to you

    And these wheels turn fast
    These wheels turn bright
    Reflecting every moon that long goes shining
    Shining through the dark of the night
    These wheels turn fast
    These wheels turn bright
    Reflecting every moon that long goes shining
    Shining through the dark of the night
    Shining through the dark of the night
    Shining through the dark of the night
    Shining through the dark of the night

    Shining through the dark of the night

    M.... D....

    It's not "misses" it's "this is". It's "It's in my head when my head when my head hits the pillow, and I'm lying here, lying here next to you."
    "Reflecting our love ,
    The moon goes shinin'
    Shinin through the dark of the night"

    M.... D....

    Lol I just copied and pasted this from somewhere

  30. G.... G....

    I think I've listened to this every day for like six months straight. Goddam I need to catch his live show.

    G.... G....

    I saw him in San Diego, Dec. 2014 with The Shining - no disappointments - it was awesome.

  31. z.... ....

    Cindy Cashdollar is a national treasure. Always amazed at the beauty she brings to every song.

  32. T.... L....
