"When It Sinks In" lyrics

Back on the island
I was away too long
I got lost for a while, but I'm finally home
And I brought a lover
You're gonna love her I know
No, she's not just another, she's more than you hoped for
Now I know what you're thinking
But I mean it this time
Let me know when it sinks in
Oh mama, She is a shining light
She is a shining light
She is a shining light

Up north there's an angel
Oh, What a sight to see
It's where she told me she loved me
Inside the cathedral
So what can I tell you
I know it's hard to believe
We bought a house uptown and a home it's becoming to be
Now I know what you're thinking
But I mean it this time
Let me know when it sinks in
She is a shining light
She is a shining light
She is a shining light
She is a shining light

Remember I told you
We couldn't stay too long
We've to split our time between both of our homes
So tell me you love me
Give me a kiss goodbye
I don't know when we'll be back again, but next time we'll stay for the night
Now I know what you're thinking
But I mean it this time
Let me know when it sinks in
She is a shining light
She is a shining light
She is a shining light
She is a shining light
