The Shining Of Things - David Sylvian

Take my word for it this never should’ve happened

What in the world do you think got into me?

We fire at will and as we watch the pieces shatter

We find we’re closer than we’ve ever been

She calls my name and I come running

I have lost the voice I listened to

And in the blindness as my world stops turning

There’s a sadness like I never knew

But I still see the shining of things

As the morning breaks it hardly seems to matter

I hear a shallowness in everything I say

We’ve played the night out in all too familiar fashion

To wear the heartache through another day

She calls my name and I come running

I have lost the voice I listened to

And there’s a stillness now the rain stopped falling

There’s a sadness like I never knew

But I see the shining of things
