Shine Shine Shine
There you are with your broken heart
Your state of grace on your naked face
There you are my weary traveller
Checking your date at the exit gate again.
And in the blurring lines, in blown up signs
With half cut rhymes, crying one more time... singing
Shine shine shine - Shine anew
Shine shine shine - it had to be you
Shine shine shine Baby - everything is fine... it's gravy
Shine shine shine - shine anew
Is there no place for us?
Our "Somewhere" out there in the dusk?
A place of trust where even dreams come true
Let these Wishbone psalms caress and bless all wrongs
While down there on Church Road this messenger shows
With a melody only for you and it's saying
Shine shine shine - shine anew
Shine shine shine - it had to be you
Shine shine shine - For all mankind
Messenger coming through
There you are - with your six string ash guitar
And your Converse All Star, orange, canvas boots
And you sing like a saint and you pay and you pray and you paint
In your old caboose where the sacred myth was tattooed
Cold closed hearts - can't tear love apart
You can put it all back together again, can't you? Can't you?
And Shine shine shine - Shine anew
Shine shine shine - it had to be you
A hundred songs called "Shine"
but this one's yours and mine
For Auld Lang Syne
sing it one more time and
Shine Shine Shine - Shine anew
Shine shine shine it had to be you
Shine Shine Shine Baby - everything is fine it's gravy
Won't you shine
