There she’s walking, down the old way
Doesn’t want to go back home again
In the backyard, she’ll be waiting
For their shouting to come to an end
In the glimmer of the silent night
She can start to dream again
Let me tell you that
The night shines, everywhere you go
Tell you that
The night shines, over everyone
In the shelter of an elm tree
A campfire flickers on the vagabonds
Empty bottles in the background
They singing shanties in the heart of night
A star full ceiling and a bed of grass
Will make the good times last
Let me tell you that
The night shines, everywhere you go
Tell you that
The night shines, over everyone
When the spirit flames awaken
Then we can feel we’re passing mirrors
Reflections of an endless grace
(The night shines) Everywhere you go
(The night shines) Everywhere you go
(The night shines) I can tell you about it
(The night shines) We got to
We got to live, we got to love,
We got to learn sometimes
We got to live, we got to love,
We got to learn sometimes
We got to give, we got to trust,
And when we fall sometimes
We got to share, we got to love,
To make the long night shine
