I like when I can stand up here
When the night is cool and clear
And everything is at my feet,
Nothing in my head;
Words, they seem so thick and slow
You can kill them all before they go,
Watch them tumble down and spin
And leave them there for dead
And shine, shine, it almost shines
Like you were here with me
Below me, bandits make the beach
And open mussels with their teeth
And try to find a little shade
'Till they can find their way;
For all it took, it’s my belief
We shouldn’t waste one moment’s grief
I mean, what else we going to leave our kids
When we’re gone someday?
And shine, shine, it almost shines
Like you were here with me
Now, the trees all rage and come to life,
The day gives out but he takes a wife
Who carries on behind his back
And lets the rabble through;
Time has run away with us
And it laughs at all the tears and fuss,
Best go with God and let me trust
The ghost in here is you
And shine, shine, it almost shines
Like you were here with me
Shine, shine, it almost shines
Like you were here with me
