lyrics

They say we’re born this way,
Hard, sick, and strange,
Grinding the gears of time,
We carry all our loves from our dawns to dusks
In our laughter and our crying,
So I got this name to mark my place,
The only proof that I ain’t lying,
That I claimed my spot in this lineage of loss
To walk with ghosts before their dying.

Some lights are gonna shine, honey,
We don’t get to decide on it,
Ain’t it awfully kind that
We get to share our flame.
Everything that I have loved,
I’ve seen the softness of the morning touch,
Honey, I swear that’s enough,
I hope you feel the same,
I hope you feel the same.

So we grow our garden ‘neath a dying sun,
Collect our rains and then give ‘em up,
They called this good once where we’re from,
They’ll call it good again,
Count our currency in turnip greens,
What the dying pass on to living things,
When I die won’t you bury me
Where the earth can turn me over.

Some lights are gonna shine, honey,
We don’t get to decide on it,
Ain’t it awfully kind that
We get to share our flame.
EVerything that I have loved,
I’ve seen the softness of the morning touch,
Honey, I swear that’s enough,
I hope you feel the same,
I hope you feel the same.

Lord knows that I grown tired of praying
Like God’s run his hands over all creation,
But what beautiful words you’re saying,
And it’s good to be here too.
You see ‘nough things that ain’t born to live,
You start thinking life is an awful gift,
Feeling the shadows for the light they give,
And a wanting cain’t nothing shake loose.

Some lights are gonna shine, honey,
We don’t get to decide on it,
Ain’t it awfully kind that
We get to share our flame.
Everything that I have loved,
I’ve seen the softness of the morning touch,
Honey, I swear that’s enough,
I hope you feel the same,
Honey, I swear that’s enough,
I hope you feel the same.

Nathan Evans Fox Nashville, Tennessee

Born and raised in western North Carolina, Nathan Evans Fox writes songs that sound the way gas stations feel. When it comes to Nathan’s approach, Americana Highways writes, “It’s not cornpone, it’s not alt-country, country-western, or pop-country. Fox has a solid hold on a serious genre of country seldom covered by many artists. It cuts through the commerciality of country music.”
