The Rolling Stones, Shine a Light

'Shine a Light',
from 'Exile on Main St.'

(c)&(p) 1972 Rolling Stones/Virgin Records

Saw you stretched out in room Ten O Nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
Couldn't see to get a line on you
My sweet honey love

Berber jewlry jangling down the street
Make you shut your eyes at every woman that you meet
Couldn't not seem to get a high on you
My sweet honey love

May the good lord shine a light on you
Make every song your favourite tune
May the good lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun

Well, you're drunk in the alley, baby
With your clothes all torn
And your late night friends
Leave you in the cold grey dawn
Just seemed too many flies on you
I just can't brush them off

Angels beating all their wings in time
With smiles on their faces
And a gleam right in their eyes
Thought I heard one sigh for you
Come on up, come on up, now
Come on up, now

May the good lord shine a light on you
Make every song you sing your favourite tune
May the good lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun

@TheLaughingGamer

This has nothing to do with Live Forever mate... possibly lyrically attached but musically miles away..

@Gepetto48 even on wikipedia it says it was about Brian Jone's. You obviously dont know what your talking about. 

[theBadmusicpatrol]

@Gepetto48 yea Keith told everyone it was about Brian, did you not read his bio?

[Gepetto48]

@theBadmusicpatrol Who told you it was about Jones? Did Mick or Keith tell you that? Just as I thought, you don't know what you're talking about.

@1BeatlemaniacForever Glad to know you worship an arrogant, wife-beating piece of trash. How quaint.

People need to stop talking about Brian's death. We know how he died. We all know the story. Now, please stop talking about it before I run out of tears. This is my favourite song by them and I' getting reminded the died. It's just so sad. Especially cause he's my favourite member. I LOVE YOU, BRIAN! <3

[1BeatlemaniacForever]

This is my favouirte Rolling Stone song. My favourite member is Brian. Guess what? These two things don't go well together. This song is so sad. Every time I hear this song I think about him not being here anymore. But I think he's in a better place. Nothing helps. It's still sad and depressing. I hope I meet you one day, Brian. <3
