Shine a Light

It's the way they pat your hair down And put you on the train Stood waving on the platform Receding on the plane There's always somewhere else that calls you And you're no good at goodbyes You move towards the night time coming Tears are in your eyes So come on star shine Come on light shine Come on moon shine Over where I'll be So come on light shine Come on moon shine Come on night time Light the way for me So I might find some familiar mark I've got an overactive mind, I'm afraid of the dark Let the steel wheels whine and echo in my heart And all around me Now you're just asking for trouble Walking out this far from town You stashed your dollars in your socks In case someone's lurking around The only sounds your shoes make And the gravel underneath And the rattling old tobacco tin Where you keep your baby teeth So come on star shine Come on light shine Come on moon shine Over where I'll be So come on light shine Come on moon shine Come on night time Light the way for me Each hole and stone my aching feet have found My pack is on my back and it's dragging me down Can you throw your glow over me here on the ground So I might see You say it's late I'm going home She says you've always got to boast You say home for whatever place You've been sleeping the most You've got eleven different phone numbers Committed to your mind You've got fifteen different addresses You've had to leave behind So come on star shine Come on light shine Come on moon shine Over where I'll be So come on light shine Come on moon shine Come on night time Light the way for me Come on star shine I said come on moon shine You show where I go so I know where I'm heading now
