I hear the car door slam from the kitchen
I breathe in deep and still
I always thought you would come back
You said you will
Set down the dish I was drying
Thought back to years ago
When I was the beauty queen
You wanted to know
And you said
LEAVE YOUR LIGHT ON
Leave it plain to see
I'll come round when I'm back in town
So LEAVE YOUR LIGHT ON FOR ME
Reach up to touch my hair
Are there earrings in my ears?
Oh God, will you know
I've been wondering for years?
Lived with one eye on the door
And sleeping alone
Married me another
A long time ago
And you said
LEAVE YOUR LIGHT ON
Leave it plain to see
I'll come round when I'm back in town
And I see in front of me
The man I knew before
And I see behind me
The life that I've worked for
What was I to do?
When my dreams were shattered on the floor?
I gave up on you
And it's too late to come to my door
I hear the car door slam from the kitchen
I breathe in deep and strong
I look around at the life I have now
And you don't belong
You took too long for this girl
To tell me
LEAVE YOUR LIGHT ON
Leave it plain to see
I'll come round when I'm back in town
So LEAVE YOUR LIGHT ON FOR ME
LEAVE YOUR LIGHT ON
Leave it plain to see
I'll come round when I'm back in town
So LEAVE YOUR LIGHT ON FOR ME
LEAVE YOUR LIGHT ON
I'll come round when I'm back in town
