Shining light (10,000 Maniacs)


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 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 flyin' 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 

Refrain 

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 
And it moves me out on the mind 
It's your shining light 
You don't even know that it shines 
It's your shining light, ohh 
It's your shining light 
You don't even know that it shines 
It's your shining light, ohh
