Lyrics 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 were closer than we've ever been

She calls my name and I come running
I have lost the voice I listened too
And in the blindness as my world stops turning
Theres 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 too
And there's a stillness now the rains stopped falling
Theres a sadness like I never knew

But I see the shining of things
