David Sylvian - The shining of things lyrics

Take My word for it

This never should have happened

What in the world d'ya 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

Theres 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 heart-ache

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

Theres a sadness like I never knew

But I see the shining of things
