No Place to Shine

Well it used to be you'd come for me

Beyond all probability

I took every opportunity

To tell you to go

Oh but you'd tug on each inch I gave

Clear until the mile was made

Walk proudly up and down it

With the teddy bear you'd won

Whoa whoah hoooooo toodeloo toodeloo

*

Oh my dear, oh my dear

Where has it gone

Where is that sunshine

That I sent home

And the moon is full out tonight

Yeah but I got no place to shine

Yeah but I got no place to shine

 

Hey it used to be you'd fall apart

Hit the dirt holding your heart well

Maybe it's the looks I've lost

Maybe all the stars are gone

And I told you all my favorite things

Like Autumn leaves beneath my feet

So you brought a bag for me

Of all the ones you saw

Whoa whoah hoooo toodeloo toodeloo

*

Oh you got a job in a flower shop and

Sent my mom a bouquet

Thanking her for her daughter

And I know time moves on but

My love for your love for me

Never went away

Hey

1, 2, 3, 4

*

And I thought you were mine

But I got no place to shine

It's just me and the swine and the wine

And it's fine

But I got no place to shine

Oh I've got no place to shine
