Lyrics
Snowflakes fall on mountains tall marks a bitter end to fall.
Wendy makes her dinner call for Danny and his friend.
The boy had a shine to him. Tony was his best friend,
playing games while shoulders mend in a shadow land.
Doc, your gift, it makes you shine
but don’t pretend its only your mind.
Locked up at the Overlook, writing for his next big book
Jack the keeper killed his cook with an ax in hand (redrum).
Lloyd, serve me up a drink so I won’t even have to think.
I’ve got a willful boy to sink to beat this native shine.
Doc, your gift, it makes you shine
but don’t pretend its only your mind.
Shine, boy, shine (Danny)
