Paroles: Simple Minds. Real Life. Woman.

Spirit of the 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 goin' I can tell
The way you know it's meant to be
There's somethin' takin' all your life
You're driftin' 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
You don't live here any more
Shine on mercury

Walkin' for 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 goin' I can tell
The way you know it's meant to be
Somethin' takin' all your life
And you're driftin' far away from me

Somethin' I can tell you
Mercury
Somethin' I can tell you

Really want to tell you
I really love to tell you
