Shining Teeth Lyrics - Cowboy Junkies

I don't wanna see your shining teeth 

Show me your bruised and battered heart 

Prove to me that you'll be true 

Let me touch the wounds that have haunted you 

Share with me the wounds that still haunt you 

I'm goin' down to the river 

It's a place where I can breathe 

Splash the waters, miss my daughters 

Focus on my retrieve 

Work on my reprieve

I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more 

She screams as she flies across the floor 

I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more 

This life becomes a thin stream 

And thinner with each day 

I'm goin' down to the river 

It's a place where I can play 

It's a place where I can pray 

I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more 

She screams as she flies across the floor 

I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more 

And over time we become that line 

And bow and drift and fray 

I'm goin' down to the river 

And wash the blood away 

Wash my pain away

I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more 

She screams as I'm backing out the door 

I don't wanna see those burned-out empty eyes 

I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more
