10,000 Maniacs Shining Light Lyrics

Ooooooo

Something was pulling me
Without knowing what was leading me on:
Your shining light.
Your shining light.

In my darkest hour
The only way to bring the dawn
Was your shining light.
Your shining light

But you're unaware your shining light is even on.
Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise
And I take a chance
And I see it all through your eyes.
Free me from my history
And show me where to draw the line,
By lighting up the mystery,
And you don't even know that it shines.

I'm not worried now about flying too close to the sun.
Your shining light
Your shining light

When December skies are cold,
You know I will always run
To your shining light.
Your shining light

But you're unaware your shining light is even on.
Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise
And I take a chance
And I see it all through your eyes.
Free me from my history
Show me where to draw the line,
By lighting up the mystery,
And you don't even know that it shines.

I won't abuse it
So please just let it glow behind your smile.
Let me use it,
Let me feel the warmth like a little child
Who understands your glance,
Though it takes me by surprise.
And I take a chance
And I see it all through your eyes.
It's your shining light
And it pulls me right out of mind
It's your shining light
You don't even know that it shines
It's your shining light
Oh, oh, oh,
It's your shining light
You don't even know that it shines
It's your shining light
Oh, oh, oh
