David Knopfler - Shine Shine Shine lyrics

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 ©David Knopfler 2002-03
