Leave a Light On Songtext
von Grant‐Lee Phillips

Aim this bird in your direction
Gotta get me home
Been draggin′ 'round my case too long
Starved of sunlit days
Waking to an endless dawn
But a man ain′t made to be this strong

I got a ways to go
The stars are all that I can see
But I'll be there before you know
Just leave a light on
Leave a light on for me

Well, I miss your face being the first one
That I see each day
Talk on the phone is not the same
But is it wrong because I love it when I do my job?
And I just ain't found no better way


I got some miles to go
The stars are all that I can see
I′ll be there before you know
Just leave a light on, leave a light on
Leave a light on for me
Leave a light on for me
Leave a light on for me

Aim this bird in your direction
Gotta get me home
Feels like time is moving slow
But it′s so dark outside these windows
Mama, here we go
One more circle 'round the globe

And when you′re fast asleep
Let me come into your dreams
I'll be there before you know
Just leave a light on, leave a light on
Leave a light on for me
Leave a light on for me
Leave a light on
Leave a light on for me

Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
All night, here we go
