Shining Light - Lyrics by 10000 Maniacs


Lyrics

Oooooh...

Something was pulling me
Without knowing what was leading me on
Your shining light, your shining light
In my darkest hour, the only way to bring the dawn
Was your shining light, your shining light
But you're unaware your shining light is even on

Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise
And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
Free me from my history, show me where to draw the line
By lighting up the mystery, and you don't even know that it shines

I'm not worried now about flying too close to the sun
Your shining light, your shining light
When December skies are cold
Well, you know I will always run
To your shining light, your shining light
But you're unaware your shining light is even on

Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise
And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
Free me from my history, show me where to draw the line
By lighting up the mystery, and you don't even know that it shines

I won't abuse it, so please just let it glow behind your smile
Let me use it, let me feel the warmth like a little child

Who understands your glance, though it takes me by surprise
And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
It's your shining light, from my history, and it pulls me out of my mind
It's your shining light, you don't even know that it shines (by lighting up the mystery)

It's your shining, it's your shining light
It's your shining light, oooooh
It's your shining, it's your shining light
It's your shining light, you don't even know that it shines

It's your shining, it's your shining light
It's your shining light, oooooh
It's your shining, it's your shining light
It's your shining light, you don't even know that it shines
