James Blunt

Shine on

Are they calling for our last dance?
I see it in your eyes… in your eyes…
Same old moves for a new romance.
I could use the same old lies,
but I'll sing.

Shine on, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout
That they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud
that we're dancing on.
So shine on, just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves
To the Gods they've made
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.

And when silence greets
my last goodbye,
The words I need are
in your eyes, and I'll sing.

Shine on, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout
That they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud
that we're dancing on.
So shine on, just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves
To the Gods they've made,
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.

Shine on, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout
That they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud
that we're dancing on.
So shine on, just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves
To the Gods they've made,
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.
