He's been shining for ever, your son He's been shining He's been shining He's been shining for ever, ever your son They search for the prince in the valley on his big horse Search for a hero on the long course But do they see me? Can I see me? Oh, she's looking for a daughter in the field, alone I wish I could give you the stars you asked me for I wish I could open the sky doors Open the sky doors Take my sword And save all the mothers and the daughters Wounded by our kind Take my sorrow Take my gold And save all the mothers and the daughters Who didn't have time Oh, I wish I could be a better man By just becoming my angel Just becoming my angel From above Higher self-speaking to me through the melody I wish I could open the sky doors I wish I could just take my sword And welcome My lover, oh I wish I could forgive him for not seeing the truth Seeing the truth, is it your blood? Why do you think I ache on my skin? I'm afraid of disappearing into your skin Take my sorrow Take my gold And save all the mothers and the daughters Who didn't have time He's been shining for ever, your son! I remember more than I'm supposed to (And I wrote about my golden sword too) (And I wrote about my lover's eternal stare) He's been shining, for ever, your son He's been shining, for ever, your son He's been shining, been shining He's been shining, for ever, your son He's been shining, for ever
