Shine Shine Shine Songtext / Lyric

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
