Dedicated to my Brother: Banjo Marty Grinwald (July 8th, 1966-Nov 26th, 2005)

lyrics

These Wicked whispers play the hide and seek of games.
We quest forever never shouldering the blame
We like to think we would have known just what to do
But it was Sarah, the night his soul slipped thru

Well some folks read the papers. Some just read the streets
Everyone’s asking “Why couldn’t he just quit the drink?”
Some would condemn her For setting him free
Others believe her blindness granted him some peace.

Chorus:
So I’m Shining Light on Sarah
Though I did not know her well.
She’s Still alive with the night he died
And the toll of Banjo Marty’s Bell.

King of the Sidewalk he still plays the happy host
Toss a request he’s the most garrulous of ghosts
His sweet sad music. Caressing the concrete
Will live forever as he dances those five strings

Chorus:
And that would be my living Hell.

Bridge: So when the darkness lingers and I’m haunted by the past
He sends a choir of singers. When the picture fades the melody will last.

If you see Sarah and I know sometimes you will.
Don’t take the bait, hate is the suicide of pills.
You can lock her up you can chain your heart
It’s all denial of disease. Crucify and every spirit cries.
Shine your light and every spirit’s free
Including Marty.

So
Shine Shine Shine
Shine Shine Shine
Shine Shine Shine me blind
Won’t you Shine Shine Shine.
