Shine

Laura Marling · Alas I Cannot Swim [2008]

I have traveled past your window many times,

I find your face too hard to define,

I can't touch you hollow thing,

You plague my mind,

I can never go outside,

I will never go back to being blind.



I have wondered what you're doing every day since last I asked.

Are your cheeks hollow I don't like your eyes dark



I need shine, I need shine, I need shine,

Step away from my light I need shine,



I am honest now, not a shouter,

I am reformed, reborn, and forgiven.

And you're been busy but you've missed me

And I've plagued you mind.

You will never go outside,

You will never go back to being blind.



I need shine, I need shine, I need shine,

Step away from my light, I need shine,

I need shine, I need shine, I need shine,

Step away from my light, I need shine.



I need shine, I need shine, I need shine,

Step away from my light I need shine,

I need shine I need shine, I need shine

Step away from my light I need shine.
