Shine On

Babe, you look a little sad tonight
Is there something on your mind
Do you think about tomorrow
Do you worry about what you'll find

Come and lay your weary head down
You've got nothing to fear
When the rain comes falling, I'll be here

So come on, soul sister
Let me comfort you for a while
Let me throw out all your weary thoughts
And give you peace of mind

Let me make you lose your worries
And forget all about your fear
When the rain comes falling, I'll be here

When the rain will keep on falling
Don't you worry about a thing
I will show you how to fly again
I'll mend your broken wings

So come on, soul sister
If you don't know what to do
When you're losing your perspectives
I'm the one to hold on to

I would never want to hurt you
So babe, don't you shed a tear
When the rain comes falling, I'll be here

When the spirits keep on calling
I'll be there to see you through
Only God knows just how I feel for you

A son of a politician
Got too serious too soon
Then he traveled around the world
Although they promised him the moon

Thought his soul was lost forever
'Til you listened to his prayers
So when the rain comes falling, I'll be here

Here I stand in the hallway
A suitcase in my hand
A whole lot on my mind
But nothing to say

Then I tell you I'll miss you
And you tell me the same
Then I walk out the door
Into the rain

Shine on, my girl, shine on
Until we meet again
Please don't shed a tear

'Cause I feel that somehow you know
That this is not the end
I'll see you again
Till then, shine on

See your face through the window
As I walk to the car
And a million of thoughts
Go through my head

Did I tell you the right things
Did I tell you I care
Or that I love you much more
Than you'll ever know

Listen, babe, when you're worried
When life feels like a load to carry
Come on, babe, put your weight on my shoulders
'Cause I'm destined to be with you

Girl, don't you cry
Wipe those tears from your pretty eyes
Girl, don't you know
It's a rough ride to paradise

Listen, darling, when hopes are fading
When hesitation sometimes drive you crazy
Keep your chin up and let me relieve you
'Cause I'm destined to be with you

It' s a rough ride and it's hard to get
To the other side, but girl, don't forget
What we will find once we're there
And there's nothing that I won't do
For you

Don't be afraid when the dark surround you
I guess nighttime is the time to feel blue
Just remember when the ghost will haunt you
It's a rough ride to paradise

There is a river inside of me
A tide of troubled waters
It's sometimes wild, and it's sometimes mean
Sometimes it is my remedy

There is a fire inside of me
A core of burning passion
The spark of hope that will lit a fuse
But also shed a light

Sometimes I'm weary
I worry about everything
Being different tomorrow
But babe, tonight belongs to us

A howlin' storm tears my soul apart
It also soothes my fever
The change of winds
No one can foresee
Not even you and me

The hands of time hold a mystery
A secret lost in the future
And no one knows, no one holds the key
To how it will be once we're there

Will there be faith in a million years
Will there be lovers just like us
Will they still laugh Will they shed their tears
I guess we'll never know

One night in Waco
One man alone
Was God beside him
Or was he wrong
Was he from heaven
From God's own throne
I don't believe that he made it home

Credo in Deum
Who knows the right way to go
Do we really need to know

I believe we can find a light in the dark
I believe it's true
Find the eye of the storm
Doesn't matter how hard
Can you believe it too

Satanic nightmares, verses heard
A hundred lives for a written word
New age magic, dead reborn
Spiritual cowboys in a desert storm

Can you believe it too
Or does it hurt to listen
The slightest change will do
To make a world of difference
Just think about it

The sound of truth seems far too strange
You can't believe how things have changed
When you were livin' out your dream
No wish was ever too extreme

But no one's here to sow your seeds
No one's here to do your deed
But I'll be always by your side

'Cause the wind cries your name
And the sun hides of shame
Nothing will be the same again
The wind cries your name

When you were young, you took your turns
Just when you felt the fire burn
You talked about life not being fair
Just like anybody cared

But I know that you made a stand
Now it's no longer in your hands
But I'll be with you all the way

'Cause the wind cries your name
And the sun hides of shame
Nothing will be the same again
The wind cries your name

Looked thru the window into the dark
Thought I saw your face beneath the stars
Stayed up all night till sunrise
Till you disappeared before my eyes

Misty in a fading sky
Who can question the reason why
Who cares if I live or die
Can't hear the hangman singing lullabies

A tree's gotta bend
And I must make amends
Before it falls down
Don't know where it ends
But it's coming again
Around and around

The river of karma
Will flow forever more

Living in a déjà vu
And I've been fighting my wrecking crew
Waiting for the first to shoot
'Cause it will change the simple truth
And I learned how to fly
When the soldier could cry

And the fishes could drown
Don't know where it ends
But it's coming again
Around and around

I've lived high with the mighty
Never was a thing that they would deny me
I've been out cold in the gutter
But I've always had my bread and butter

It's a fast road I must follow
But my feet keep sinking deeper
No use livin' for tomorrow
When you're dancin' with the reaper

I've been walking on the fine line of love and hate
A bit of misery will make my day
I can't help it but I'm losing faith

Walking on the line
Fallin' in the fire
Speakin' out the truth
Sounding like a liar
Walking on the fine line of love and hate

Chances come, chances go
Gotta grab them while I'm on the roll
Stick my neck out to the limit
Be the star of the show while I'm in it

It's hard to try to place
The circle in the square
The seed of doubt inside
A true believer

It's hard to realize
The truth within each lie
I see it in your eyes
When you're crying

Together alone
So close yet so far away
We're losing our hold
And hanging
Together alone
Watching it fade away
Together alone

We're trying to start a fire
At the bottom of the sea
When seeing eye to eye
Isn't easy

The snow is falling down
On a sunny summer day
And the wild man in the moon
Lost his smile

Together alone
So close yet so far away
We're losing our hold
And hanging
Together alone
Watching it fade away
Together alone

The pleasure in the pain
Is all that remains
The promise never made
Stays unspoken

It's hard to realize
The truth within each lie
I see it in your eyes
When you're crying

Together alone
So close yet so far away
We're losing our hold
And hanging
Together alone
Watching it fade away
Together alone
