"Shining Light" by 10000 Maniacs

Something was pulling me without knowing what was leading me
on: 
your shining light. 
In my darkest hour the only way to bring the dawn was your
shining light. 
But you're unaware your shining light is even on. 
Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise 
and I take a chance and see it all through your eyes. 
Free me from my history and show me where to draw the line,

by lighting up the mystery, and you don't even know that it
shines. 
I'm not worried now about flying too close to the sun. 
When December skies are cold, you know I will always run to
your shining light. 
I won't abuse it so please just let it glow behind your
smile. 
Let me use it, let me feel the warmth like a little child 
who understands your glance, though it takes me by surprise.

And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes.
