Robbie Robertson - Shine Your Light Lyrics
The cry of the city like a siren's songWailing over the rooftops the whole night longSaw a shooting star like a diamond in the skyMust be someone's soul passing byThese are the streetsWhere we used to run where your Papa's fromThese are the daysWhere you become what you becomeThese are the streetsWhere the story's toldThe truth unfoldsDarkness settles inShine your light down on meLift me up so I can seeShine your light when you're goneGive me the strengthTo carry on, carry onDon't wanna be a heroJust an everyday manTrying to do the job the very best he canBut now it's like living on borrowed timeOut on the rim, over the lineAlways tempting fate like a game of chanceNever wanna stick around to the very last danceSometimes I stumble and take a hard fallLose hold your grip off the wallShine your light down on meLift me up so I can seeShine your light when you're goneGive me the strength to carry onCarry onI thought I saw him walking by the side of the roadMaybe trying to find his way homeHe's here but not hereHe's gone but not goneJust hope he knows if I get lostShine your light down on meLift me up so I can seeShine your light when you're goneGive me the strength to carry onCarry on
