|
I woke up this morning |
|
Same old questions in my head |
|
At least the weather's getting cooler now |
|
No longer forced to leave my bed |
|
The sun shines through my window |
|
Makes my old house creak and moan |
|
Reminds me of the old lady down the market |
|
Sitting in the sun, stretching her weary bones |
|
And I'll leave the light on |
|
So you can see |
|
I'll leave the light on |
|
Should you decide to visit me |
|
Time is time and time is time and time just rolls along |
|
It's with you every second |
|
Though it has no shape or form |
|
Sometimes |
|
I get so anxious |
|
As your path leads you away |
|
But I know it's only my loneliness |
|
And it passes with the day |
|
I've been an angry and a jealous man |
|
And I have no right to be |
|
Perhaps it's just my wicked, wicked ways |
|
Catching up to me |
|
Still I've done my time |
|
And I've paid the price |
|
After all what's just a little pain |
|
If I learn from my mistakes |
|
Then my loss becomes my gain |
|
Still I'll leave the light on |
|
So you can see |
|
I'll leave the light on |
|
Should you decide to visit me |
|
This is the end that is no end |
|
With the beginning yet to come |
|
I'm going to throw the doors wide open |
|
I'm going to let my spirit run |
|
I'm going to take the path that is most yielding |
|
And in time my steps shall disappear |
|
I'll pound my head against the wall no more |
|
I'll be still so |
|
I can hear |
|
And if I drop all my pretensions |
|
About how much you broke my heart |
|
I really do feel grateful |
|
As we drift further apart |
|
I will follow my distant vision |
|
I'm going to listen to my voice |
|
You showed me the way to freedom |
|
You really made the only choice |
|
And so you see |
|
I'll leave the light on |
|
Should you decide |
|
Should you ever decide to visit me |
