Shine lyrics

Lot of havoc in the sea
People rushing endlessly
Sometimes I think it's just their way
Of capturing a better day
You keep rushing home baby
For your dose of reality
I'll hold out my hands to you
You do what you need to

Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)

An ocean of humanity
Some wash up along the street

I met a man
And talked about you
He seemed like a man from Osaka I knew
And he listened while I told him how you hurt me
And he consoled me when he told me he'd been hurt too

And he said we are inter-dependent
And the effects on each other never ending
And that the air has no boundaries
I think this water that surrounds me
Is the same water soaking through to you?

So, what comes floating to me

Wake Me
Shake me
Come on take me
To a Higher Plane
Make the music and the rhythm
Carry me away

I want to be with you
I want to be free
I want to be connected to everyone I see
(Ohh) Ooo... everyone moving with the same emotion
(Ohh) Ooo... and he looks just like a silent word being spoken

Wake Me
Shake me
Come on take me
To a Higher Plane
Make the music and the rhythm
Carry me away

Come to mama 'cause you know
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
In the middle of the night
When the last sheep jumps through my head
Why shut out the light?
When I know I'm gonna wake up again
In crumpled sheets
There is no silhouette
To the sight of me
It's much to cold in this bed

Oooooohhhh,
I miss my baby
Oooooohhhh,
I miss my baby
Oooooohhhh,
I miss my baby
Oooooohhhh,
I miss my baby

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

You see me everywhere, in my underwear
You may wonder what I'm here to sell
But underneath my stare, I'm so naked there
There are secrets I'm dying to tell

It's hard to be me
Nobody knows what it's like to be
The envy of mediocrity

If you could see
All my depth and complexity
I'd think you'd agree
It's hard to be me

It's hard to be me

I am up here alone, on my glamorous throne

What are you thinking when you're looking at me?
What can you tell me of reality?
I'm only woman, not just a fantasy
And the flesh and blood is warmer than some color transparency

Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer

Sometimes I look at you
Feel like I make you blue
Wish I could make us all brand new
Wish I had some mystery left
To my personality
Then I could wink at you
And you'd laugh like you used to

You know I think we'll make it through
'Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
'Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you

I know it's hard not to

Shine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine I won't deny you
And don't be afraid it'll all be ok

Do you know my name
Well I ain't gonna take
that big time line
won't be beat by a lie
Gonna call out to these embers
waiting to ignite
Gonna pull you up
By your love, by your love
and tell you

Shine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away

This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you

Woke up to find myself
Standing in another day
Filled with anxiety
I'm praying for a different way
I give it all I have
'Till I have no more to give
I used to think I'd die for love
Now I'd rather live
If everywhere you look, you find some misery
The view from there can make you feel

When I was young,
Way back in Sicily
You should have seen me
My hair then was long
There was this one young man
Who always came around
And gave me this ribbon of velvet brown

Waiting for Valentino
His dark eyes lock on mine
Waiting for Valentino

Then, you did what you were told
Married a cousin I didn't know
He'd fallen in love with my photograph
Oh why, worked harder then I could bare

I went to the water's edge, forgot I couldn't swim
I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in
I saw the water shimmer
I heard the wind howl
I saw my own reflection
I just can't see it now

You say it's the way of the world
To somehow co-exist
That eventually life unfurls
A path to happiness

So, I whisper your little secret
And repeat it under my breath
I'll save it for you in my heart

I used to stand in my doorstep
I used to dance in the rain
I used to cast out wishes
That never came back again
I used to sit in my garden
With pretty maids in a row
Silver bells and cockle shells
Waiting to see where we're going

Wide Open for anything
Anything love would bring
Wide Open for anything
Anything and everything

Same old scenery
Made me real confused
Tired of the same old feeling
