Leaven a light on

LETRA

Leaven a light on

So come the evening/
I’m out on the dunes/
looking for a token/
something to prove/
all I remember/
is more than a flame/
in my fantasy fire/

whatever I’ve done to receive/
whatever I need to redeem/
whatever you say/
even if I wait a lifetime/

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, /
if you leave a light on for me/
I’ll come there/
You can leave a light on for me/

In comes the morning/
I’m stood in my track/
looking at the reasons/
for me to head back/
so unexpected/
the kindness you’ve shown/
that I will not forget it/

whatever I’ve done to receive/
whatever I need to redeem/
whatever you say/
even if I wait a lifetime/

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, /
if you leave a light on for me/
I’ll come there/
You can leave a light on for me/

you breathe the will into the weak/
and coax the cage bird to fly free/
you ease the lost cause out of me/
with your sweet hand to bring me home/
I’m not alone/

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on,/
if you leave a light on for me,/
I’ll come there/
You can leave a light on for me/
I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, /
if you leave a light on for me,/
I’ll come there/
You can leave a light on for me/
