Artist: 10,000 Maniacs
Song: Shining Light

Something was pulling me 
without knowing what was leading me on: 
your shining light. 

In my darkest hour the only way 
to bring the dawn was 
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
and 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. 

When December skies are cold, 
you know I will always run to 
your shining light.

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.
