Shine a Light Songtext
von Jacob Golden

My favorite Daniel Johnston song
Was recorded on a tape deck before you were born
There′s a lyric in the chorus where he talks about joy
And it held my hand through an infinite void

There was a girl in Ohio and my feelings were hers
'Til I finally got kicked off of the tour
′Cause my heart has a habit and sometimes it shows
Saint Paul made a girl into an English rose

Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me


They laughed and threw some rotten apples
But I wasn't on the stage that night
I was in the fourth grade with the boombox symphony
And 808 bass hits hidden in a microchip

The record company had pushed for a hard, hard sell
But I couldn't check out of the roach motel
′Cause my heart has a habit and sometimes it shows
Saint Paul made a girl into an English rose

Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
