Shine On, Shine On, Shine on Songtext

von Joel Plaskett

I set my sails for the New South Wales
Tryin' to get ahead of the sun
The day I left for the New South Wales
You said, ["Babe, don't forget where you're from.Babe don't forget where you come from."]

Wadin' in the water on the Scarborough Beach
Takin' pictures of my feet in the sand
I should be writin' you a letter from the Scarborough beach
Saying, ["Babe, you won't believe where I am.Babe, you won't believe where I am."]

Stoppin' on the highway at the side of the road
Starin' at a whole new set of stars
I go where I go and I do what I'm told
But it's easy to forget where you are
It's easy to forget where you are

Oh, you read my mind
Your beauty can leave me blind
The truth can be cruel and so unkind
But I can't lie to you
Sometimes I get so blue
I don't want anything to do with myself

I set my sight on my front porch light
Tryin' to shake this feelin' that took hold
Dreamin' that you're leavin' on the front porch light
Maybe turnin' lead into gold
Maybe turnin' lead into gold

Singing, shine on, shine on, shine on travelin' light
Sing a song, sing it for all the right reasons tonight
