Shining Light - 10,000 Maniacs

Something was pulling me without knowing what was leading me on:

Your shining light

But you’re unaware your shining light is even on

In my darkest hour the only way to bring the dawn was your shining light

And I take a chance and see it all through your eyes

Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise

By lighting up the mystery

Free me from my history and show me where to draw the line

And you don’t even know that it shines

You know I will always run to your shining light

I’m not worried now about flying too close to the sun

When December skies are cold

Though it takes me by surprise

I won’t abuse it so please just let it glow behind your smile

Let me feel the warmth like a little child who understands your glance

Let me use it

And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
