lyrics

"Shiny New Thing"
Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI)
 
I touched your skin
Heard the story within you sing
About all the sailors coming round
And you so alive
I couldn’t keep it inside
In the ways we fall down
Oh, the ways we fall down
// I’ll be your shiny new thing
‘Til I stop shining
The light of your days
‘Til we grow sick of trying
Or ’til we live with the crazies
Or we’re pushing up daisies
Or slide into the steep sea
With the angels below
 
So when I’m crawling deep into your sea
Pull you close to me
The places, well they sometimes confound
But baby I’ll stay
When it all falls away
So don’t go leaving me now
Oh no, don’t you go leaving me now
 
I’ll be your shiny new thing
‘Til I stop shining
The light of your days
‘Til we grow sick of trying
Or ’til we live with the crazies
Or we’re pushing up daisies
Or slide into the steep sea
With the angels below
 
I’ll be the bread in your mouth
Poetry on the table
The one who remembers
To weave all the fables
Like the one about the lost son
Who took things from everyone
And when he found that he had none
They welcomed him home
 
When we fall to the side
all that’s left of you
Is just shadows and light
and the blue splintered shade
Of memories on parade
And we hope that the skies
will be kind to us
And shelter in the dust
of the glow of the day
Memories on parade
 
So as we stand on the edge of our stories dear
Things to keep us near
I can’t recall all I’ve said and done
There’s only one rhyme my watch sings
About the time
So if you’ll just hear me now
Oh, if you’ll just hear me now

I’ll be your shiny new thing
‘Til I stop shining
The light of your days
‘Til we grow sick of trying
Or ’til we live with the crazies
Or we’re pushing up daisies
Or slide into the steep sea
With the angels below
