David Sylvian The Shinning Of Things Lyrics

The Shinning Of Things Lyrics

Take My word for it

This never should have happened

What in the
world d'ya think

Got into me



We fire at will

And as we
watch the pieces shatter

We find were closer 

Than we've ever been




She calls my name and I come running

I have lost the voice
I listened too

And in the blindness 

As my world stops turning

Theres a sadness like I never knew

But I still see the shining of
things



As the morning breaks

It hardly seems to matter

I hear a shallowness

In everything I say



We've played the
night out

In all too familiar fashion

To wear the heart-ache 

Through another day



She calls my name and I come running

I have lost the voice I listened too

And there's a stillness now

The rain's stopped falling



Theres a sadness like I never
knew

But I see the shining of things
