Ryan Dawson - Shine With Me Lyrics

To the silver flush of dusk she ascends
Burning brilliant in my firmament, my beryl ember
And with whispers amorous she reveals
How she longs to walk among the fragile as one of them

And my soul begins to swell
"Aren't you happy as you are?
They don't love your kind down there
They will break your virgin heart
And that pain is bottomless
Stay and shine with me, my star"

While I slept, she fled the sky robed in skin
As a girl she fell in love with an ignoble mortal
He abandoned her at last in despair
She called out to be subsumed again to my protection

And my soul began to swell
"Aren't you happy as you are?
They can't love your kind down there
They will always break your heart
I will hold you endlessly
Return and shine with me, my star"

And my soul begins to swell
"Aren't you happy as you are?
They don't love your kind down there
They will break your virgin heart
And that pain is bottomless
Stay and shine with me, my star"
