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
