'Till It Shines

Take away my inhibitions

Take away my solitude

Fire me up with your resistance

Mmm, put me in the mood

Storm the walls around this prison

Leave the inmates, free the guards

Deal me up another future

From some brand new deck of cards

Take the chip off of my shoulder

Smooth out all the lines

Take me out among the rustling pines

Till it shines

Ah, till it shines

Like an echo down a canyon

Never coming back as clear

Lately I just judge the distance

Not the words I hear

I've been too long on these islands

I've been far too long alone

I've been too long without summer

In this winter home

Still if we can make the effort

If we take the time

Maybe we can leave this much behind

Till it shines

Mmm, till it shines

See the rich man lost and lonely

Watch him as he dines

Sitting there just testing all the wines

Till it shines

Mmm, till it shines

Till it shines

Oh, till it shines

Till it shines

Mmm
