"Shine Your Light" lyrics

I've been up for a week
And I swear I'm doing fine
And I could pour myself a drink
But I just had a glass of wine
I know you don't really love me, girl
I can see it in your eyes
When you smile
And if you want to go
Well, I can go it alone
You don't have to write a note
You don't have to call me on the phone
Cause I know that you don't really need me, girl
I can see it every time you walk by

And if you want to gamble
Well, you can have my very last dime
And if you want to drink
Well, let me pour a glass of wine
And if you need to sleep here
Well, I'm sure that would be fine
Cause I'm moving on
I'm already gone

Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on me
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on me

Cause if you need a lover, a demon brother or a dog that you don't gotta feed
If you want a best friend who can love you to the end and ain't above getting down on his knees
Oh, won't you please shine your light on me?

I know you had to go, before I told you so
I'm not the one who's in control
I never even had you as my own
What good is really living here
If I can't say you're mine
Or say goodbye?
I'm not the holy ghost
I wanna hold you close
With a rosary of gold
Sat upon a high and holy throne
And I know you''ll never really see me, child
Shining the good Lord's light
Unless you try

And if you want to gamble
Well, you can have my very last dime
And if you want to drink
Well, let me pour a glass of wine
And if you need to sleep here
Well I'm sure that would be fine
Cause I'm moving on
I'm already gone

Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me

Cause if you need a lover, a demon brother or a dog that you don't gotta feed
Cause if you want a best friend who can love you to the end and ain't above getting down on his knees

I want to fly into your loving arms girl
But it ain't right the way you do me harm
I'm like a child and you're a hungry beast
Out on the prowl and you know that you can't fall in love when you've already tasted my blood

Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on me
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on me

Cause if you need a lover, a demon brother or a dog that you don't gotta feed
Cause if you want a best friend who can love you to the end and ain't above getting down on his knees
Oh, won't you please shine your light on me?
