Shine Raging blue said, I'm alive again; this time I'm playing my way Though he'd never seen me before He could see that I saw it, so he let me sit Though I never asked him to pour We made empty-glass toasts, drank in liquid light Watched her shine Watched her shine I did a take over my shoulder then; could she be looking my way? She sent them home, trailing off one by one; steady blue told me to stay She wrapped around me like firelight on frozen hands She soaked in like cool rain on drought-wasted lands She slept holding on 'til the windows spilled dawn But that night she faded and the next night was gone So Carl cleared a place for me at the bar With a no-tricks wink, no questions asked And I'm not one to drink, but I tapped for one And we toasted the night before last And it burned down with bitter truth, sweet memory Did we shine Did we shine She's floating an inch off the ground It comes sunblind clear as I feel my head pound She stands alone in that pool of light So I'll sit back and wait from a distance tonight And every night So Carl, clear a place for me at the bar I'm not moving 'til you lock the door And I promise to be quiet If you promise to pour And I'll sit here in the shadows Watch her shine Watch her shine Watch her shine Watch her shine |
