Sometimes I feel like I’m playing on the radio Sometimes I feel like I’m on a travelling road show Sometimes I got the power of the will And I know my song is going to be all right
Sometimes I feel like I’m on a freight train Forever rescued by the mystery rain Sometimes I’m just out for a thrill She always said, baby, you're going to be all right
The sun going to come shining down Push it all away, make it all right Sometimes in the heart of a long, cold night It's all too far out of sight, out of sight
Hard to know everything's going to be all right Everyone thinks you got everything you want Hard to have and then have not Hard to have and then have not
Sometimes I want to take a pill and hide Sometimes I want to shut down and ride And go where no man should go Go where no man should go Go where no man should go Go where no man should go Could it be, ever really be all right?
I have wandered far and wide All the way from Paris to Mexico Till I was gone and didn't know In the end the thing that keeps me walking is your shine Your shine in the morning Your shine in the distance Your shine inside the laughter and the ghosts
They have spoken of the river Forever bending inside the fever Of the saints that walk all night with no domain In the end the thing that keeps them walking is your shine Your shine when they wear no coat Your shine when the feeling’s low Your shine when it's too late to turn around
I have frozen up my dreams Thinking I was all alone Fighting every minute For each turning stone
I have reached the rocket speed I have touched the ground that feeds Scaling fences, looking for the healing sunlight In the end the thing that keeps me walking is your shine Your shine in transmissions Your shine in decisions Your shine when I labour to the new day
It’s your shine, your shine, your shine, shine, shine on
Make me see it a whole new way Make me see the new day, the new day, the new day Make me be, make me be Make me be a whole new way
Meet me in San Juan, baby, I’ll be true Whisper sweet everything to you Yellow cactus rose, cotton blown by wind Beaten brown hands, perfect skin, perfect skin, perfect skin
In San Juan, I don't want to know All the reasons why you got to go In San Juan, meet me in San Juan
Where nobody has and everybody gives There's no sad wind where death lives I see your love, I see your love
Baby, I’ll be true Yes, I’ll be true For your love, for your love, for your love, love
In the middle of the night it came to me A bridge to your ecstasy Images of a burned out hell You coming in with your mission bell
Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one
Little sister, let's go downtown And dance to the night sounds Hear the bass wafting down the hill From Echo Park, my Jamaica in L.A.
Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one
It's in the shadows, in the sweet scent breeze In the riding out of a death disease The prettiness shining into complete In the bitterness burning up in the heat
Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one
I was drowning in champagne eyes Skipping along in compromise When dignity rattled me on the back And my rebel mind needed to attack
Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one
My sweetness, you were with me when I was sad at an evolution bend Hiding alone like a rolling stone Now I want to know the power of your home
Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Get a lift, feel the power of one
Don't sit waiting for the thing to come Laugh in the face of a hundred planet guns
Slow giving, slow coming Slow giving, slow coming Joy giving, joy coming Love giving, love coming
Angel, I’ve seen you in the rocket speed I've seen you in the ground that feeds My angel, with me you've crawled through the trenches Forever scaling my defences
I need you now in my rebel mind Please lock the door and hang a sign My heart is open wide but the bleeding's hard to stop Explain to me what is and what is not What is, what is, what is
Slow giving, slow coming, you’re my world apart Slow giving, slow coming, what a fall, what a fall Joy giving, joy coming Love giving, love coming
Angel, until the beast in me forever burns It's hard to know which way to turn On the guard rail of your twenty five years I feel the piercing ember of every tear
On a desert plain, on my knees Broken and ragged, saying please, baby, please, baby, please Oh angel, I’ve lost so many times Please, please show me a sign
On a pretty lip, on a broken grip Don't let me bring the roof down, let me build my spirit sound I'm standing right back where I started Please let me stay open hearted
