Shine

I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true 
That our love it has faded 
Like the summer run through 
So we'll walk down the shoreline 
One last time together 
Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts Like a feather 
But who knows what's waiting 
In the wings of time 
Dry your eyes 
We gotta go where we can shine 

Don't be hiding in sorrow 
Or clinging to the past 
With your beauty so precious 
And the season so fast 
No matter how cold the horizon appear 
Or how far the first night 
When I held you near 
You gotta rise from these ashes 
Like a bird of flame 
Step out of the shadow 
We've gotta go where we can shine 

For all that we struggle 
For all we pretend 
It don't come down to nothing 
Except love in the end 
And ours is a road 
That is strewn with goodbyes 
But as it unfolds 
As it all unwinds 
Remember your soul is the one thing 
You just can't compromise 
Take my hand 
We're gonna go where we can shine 
We're gonna go where we can shine 
We're gonna go where we can shine 

(and look, and look) 
Through the windows of midnight 
Moonfoam and silver
