The Shining Of Things Lyrics - David Sylvian

Take my word for it, this never should have happened 

What in the world do you 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 

There's 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 heartache 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 

There's a sadness like I never knew but I see the shining of things
