Out in the dark and on my own
I am stranded here with no way home (shine on me)
Out in the dark, standing here alone
Out in the night where traffic warders roam
Out in an island, where you abandoned me
I am still burning, bright so I can see
Lights in the night, burning red and white
Shine on me so i can see, shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me so i can see, shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me, shine on me
