Darlin' when love shines a light
You can't let it go out
You gotta hold on tight
We'll be all right
When love shines a light
You put your heart on the line
Don't let it go
Just let it show you the way

You've had your doubts about us
You ask me if this love can last
'Cos you've been hurt too many times
Well you know I can't change the past but
I promise I won't fade away
Put your trust in me, believe me when I say

Darlin' when love shines a light
You can't let it go out
You gotta hold on tight
We'll be all right
When love shines a light
You put your heart on the line
Don't let it go
Just let it show you the way

My heart was sad and lonely
Never really been in love before
One soul completes another
Never will I want anything more and
I promise I won't fade away
Put your trust in me, believe me when I say

Darlin' when love shines a light
You can't let it go out
You gotta hold on tight
We'll be all right
When love shines a light
You put your heart on the line
Don't let it go
Just let it show you the way

Don't give it up
Don't you give up on me
Something so rare, I'll never find again
So darlin' if you feel that way
All I'm asking you to do is stay

Darlin' when love shines a light
You can't let it go out
You gotta hold on tight
We'll be all right
When love shines a light
You put your heart on the line
Don't let it go

Just let it show you the way

Two Dead Rattlesnakes (On Morning Star Lane)

By Free Deeks

A couple of years ago I spent some time in Mariposa, a small town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in California. Each week the local newspaper would publish a resume of the incidents, provided by the County Sheriff’s Office, that occurred in and around the town during that week. In this song, a member of the Sheriff’s Office has discovered that his wife doesn’t love him anymore. In the first part he is leaving to get to work, he’s in the car, listening to the radio and thinking of what had been happening. The second part is a list of his work during that week that will end up appearing in the local paper. Life in its mundanity and sadness.

More Than Our Lies

By Karlo Čavlović

Society is crumbling down as the only thing we're ever really hellbent on is looking good in the eyes of others. We try to create a perfect image of ourselves while our true personalities rot behind the masks we wear.
