Night Shines

There she’s walking, down the old way

Doesn’t want to go back home again

In the backyard, she’ll be waiting

For their shouting to come to an end

In the glimmer of the silent night

She can start to dream again

Let me tell you that

The night shines, everywhere you go

Tell you that

The night shines, over everyone

In the shelter of an elm tree

A campfire flickers on the vagabonds

Empty bottles in the background

They singing shanties in the heart of night

A star full ceiling and a bed of grass

Will make the good times last

Let me tell you that

The night shines, everywhere you go

Tell you that

The night shines, over everyone

When the spirit flames awaken

Then we can feel we’re passing mirrors

Reflections of an endless grace

(The night shines) Everywhere you go

(The night shines) Everywhere you go

(The night shines) I can tell you about it

(The night shines) We got to

We got to live, we got to love,

We got to learn sometimes

We got to live, we got to love,

We got to learn sometimes

We got to give, we got to trust,

And when we fall sometimes

We got to share, we got to love,

To make the long night shine
