Something Shines - Chris Whitley

Look out sister, well, who will be released?

A latent savior gradually deceased

And you’re no stranger as often come to mind

When I’m watching the rain fall

Wondering whatever makes it shine, it do

It seems like something shines, seems like it

I went back where the criminal saved the day

There’s so much wreckage around here

Always some price to pay

But I found me a fragment all of a thing you left behind

I was left wondering, wondering whatever makes it shine

It seems like something shines, it seems like something shines

It seems like something shines, it seems like something shines

Well, take what you can find, till it, till it seems like it

Seems like something shines

Like some thing shines

Seems like something shines

Well, I’m just a peddler hustling the street

Blind to the jewels, I’ve been begging at my feet

But she got the diamond, oh, engaged upon her spine

While I’m in her shadows, I’m wondering whatever makes it shine

It seems like something shines, seems like it do

It seems like something shines, seems like something shines

It seems like something shines, it seems like something shines

It seems like something shines, I’ll take what I can find

It seems like something shines

It seems like something shines

It seems like something shines

Seems like something, seems like something shines
