Shine a Light Songtext
von The Gadflys

You can take all of the money
That I got from the old man
I′ve got to catch up with some friends of mine
They have gone and left me far behind
I heard their laughter coming back to me
It was carried on the wind
When we were children
Do you remember?
We went always hand in hand

Oh, shine a light
Leave a candle
In the window
Burning bright
So I can find my way
So I can get back home
Through the darkness
Shine a light

I heard that bad luck will get you three times
Like the tolling of a bell


I took a wrong turn
The light is fading now
And I don't recognize just where I am
Out of the darkness
A train is rushing on
Out of the darkness
Passing close by me
Inside the carriages
Familiar faces

Laughing and talking
They don′t see me

Oh, shine a light
Leave a candle
In the window
Burning bright
So I can get back home
So I can find a way
Through the darkness
Shine a light


Chinese lanterns swaying on the breeze
Crazy music playing in time
All the people dance in circles
Wearing masks hiding their faces
The bride to be has taken flight
And the young groom
Whose shame has turned to madness
Has disappeared into the night
And his father cannot find him
And his father cannot find him

The old man's grief knows no bounds

Oh, shine a light
Leave a candle
In the window
Burning bright
So I can get back home
So I can find a way
Through the darkness
Shine a light

Shine a light
Leave a candle
In the window
Burning bright
So I can get back home
So I can find a way
Through the darkness
Shine a light
