My Light Will Shine

(album: Skin & Bone - 1998)

Outside a light is flashing
Inside my heart is crashing
And now our words are slashing
So this time we're gonna be apart

You know I sympathise
But there's no time for lies
I guess you realise
The look that's in your eyes
Would tear my heart

You said you're leaving me
And asked if I agreed
Then like a child you cried
When you realised your time had come

After all the things we've been through
It seems so hard to leave you

My light will shine for you tonight
My light will shine for you tonight

You're like a Claymore mine
You were my glass of wine
Can't drink you off my mind
Maybe you'll build a shrine
And tears sustain

I've crossed the Harbour Bridge
Yes, I've learned how to live
I've seen the black of night
And I've watched people fight
Wrapped in pride

After all the things we've been through
It seems so hard to leave you

My light will shine for you tonight
My light will shine for you tonight
A love by any name, you won't wear like chains
Let me hold you tonight

A love by any name, you won't wear like chains
Let me hold you tonight

I said that I would wait forever
And so you took me at my word

My light will shine for you tonight
My light will shine for you tonight
A love by any name, you won't wear like chains

My light will shine for you tonight
My light will shine for you tonight
A love by any name, you won't wear like chains
Let me hold you tonight
