Shine A Light

It's the way they pat your hair down
And put you on the train
Stood waving on the platform
Receding on the plane

There's always somewhere else that calls you
And you're no good at goodbyes
You move towards the night time coming
Tears are in your eyes

So come on star shine
Come on light shine
Come on moon shine
Over where I'll be

So come on light shine
Come on moon shine
Come on night time
Light the way for me

So I might find some familiar mark
I've got an overactive mind, I'm afraid of the dark
Let the steel wheels whine and echo in my heart
And all around me

Now you're just asking for trouble
Walking out this far from town
You stashed your dollars in your socks
In case someone's lurking around

The only sounds your shoes make
And the gravel underneath
And the rattling old tobacco tin
Where you keep your baby teeth

So come on star shine
Come on light shine
Come on moon shine
Over where I'll be

So come on light shine
Come on moon shine
Come on night time
Light the way for me

Each hole and stone my aching feet have found
My pack is on my back and it's dragging me down
Can you throw your glow over me here on the ground
So I might see

You say it's late I'm going home
She says you've always got to boast
You say home for whatever place
You've been sleeping the most

You've got eleven different phone numbers
Committed to your mind
You've got fifteen different addresses
You've had to leave behind

So come on star shine
Come on light shine
Come on moon shine
Over where I'll be

So come on light shine
Come on moon shine
Come on night time
Light the way for me

Come on star shine
I said come on moon shine
You show where I go so I know where I'm heading now
