"Shine A Light" lyrics

Shine A Light

Saw you stretched out
In room ten-o-nine
With a smile on your face
And a tear right in your eye
Oh, couldn't see
To get a line on you
My sweet honey love

Berber jewelry
Jangling down the street
Make you shut your eyes
At every woman that you meet
Couldn't seem
To get a high on you
My sweet honey love

May the good Lord
Shine a light on you
Make every song
Your favorite tune
May the good Lord
Shine a light on you
Warm
Like the evening sun

When you're drunk
In the alley, baby
With your clothes all torn
And your late night friends leave you
In the cold gray dawn
Just seemed too many
Flies on you
I just can't
Brush them off

Angels beating
All their wings in time
With smiles on their faces
And a gleam right in their eyes
Whoa, thought I heard one
Sigh for you
Come on up
Come on up now
Come on up now

May the good Lord
Shine a light on you
Yeah
Make every song you sing
Your favorite tune
May the good Lord
Shine a light on you
Yeah
Warm
Like the evening sun

May the good Lord
Shine a light on you
Make every song you sing
Your favorite tune
May the good Lord
Shine a light on you
Warm
Like the evening sun
