Shining Light Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

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 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'm not worried now, about flyin' too close to the sun 

Your shining light, your shining light 

When December skies are cold 

Well 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 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 moves me out on the mind 

It's your shining light 

You don't even know that it shines 

It's your shining light, ohh 

It's your shining light 

You don't even know that it shines 

It's your shining light, ohh
