From the album "Real Life"
Spirit of girl I know's in front of me,
I brought her home, it's where she'd want to be.
Picture of some strange tattooed bird on her thigh,
Shine on, walk on, take a walk with me.
Something going I can tell,
The way you know its meant to be,
There's something taking all your life,
You're drifting far away from me.
Spirit of the one I love walk in the room,
It gets so hard when it's all too soon.
Lover's lonely planet, blue smoke in your eyes.
Shine on get home when are you gonna rise.
Shook my life.
Mercury.
You don't live here any more,
Shine on.
Mercury.
Walking the the sunlight to the old courtyard,
Where the weather's warm and the air tastes sweet.
In a world where words can say what's in her eyes,
She will epitomise, so let her rest in peace.
Something's going I can tell,
The way you know it's meant to be.
Something taking all your life,
And you're drifting far away from me.
Something I can tell you,
Mercury.
Something I can tell you,
Really want to tell you,
I'd really love to tell you.

Tends to get overlooked, even by some SM's die hards. This just oozes class n is a refreshing change from their more usual sound. Just a pity the song ending is clipped off at the end! C'est la vie.

Excellent song from a very underrated album. Album got slated but tracks like these showcase the immense talent of Jim's voice. Here, I think they were influenced by Blue Nile and later Talk Talk stuff.
