Shining

Eileen Rose

Sore hands they're calling rain 
Four stops home 
To share your mama's pain 
Shine like she does 

Worn in but he's out again 
Four shots, born to be a ladies' man 
Shine like he does, shine like he does 
They tell me the world still loves a dreamer 

Four nights and fare thee well 
Born light, missing one but I won't tell 
Shine like he does 

Four strings and a broken bow 
Life sails, this is all you need to know 
Shine like it does, shine like it does 
They tell me the world still loves a dreamer 

But there's a blue moon on my birthday 
And there's a bluebird on the balcony 
If I keep on, keep on, keep on 
Keep on, keep on shining 

It won't be long before they find me 
Keep on, keep on, keep on 
Keep on, keep on shining 

Sore head and I'm calling rain 
Full stop, home to meet my mother's pain 
Cry like she does, try like she does 
Oh, the woman sure loves a loser 

And there's a blue moon on my birthday 
And there's a bluebird on the balcony 
If I keep on, keep on, keep on 
Keep on, keep on shining 

It won't be long before they find me 
Keep on, keep on, keep on 
Keep on, keep on shining 

Keep on, keep on, keep on 
Keep on, keep on shining 
Keep on, keep on, keep on 
Keep on, keep on shining
