The Shining Of Things

David Sylvian

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
