Paul Kelly - Please Leave Your Light On lyrics

rate me

Please, leave your light on for me

Let it shine off through the night

I know by now you?re not expecting me

I?ve been so long out of sight

I?m coming through the darkest hour now, mama

Don?t give up on me, just yet

I got no excuses for ya

But I sure got some regrets, I sure got some regrets

I went out from the halls of grace

My soul turned into stone

Please, leave your light on for me

I?ve been taking the long way home

Please, go easy when you see me, mama

I just might fall apart

I know, I?ve tried your patience

I know, I?ve stretched your heart

The sky fell down hard upon me

I've been crawling in the dirt

Nobody?s fault but mine for sure

And not just me who?s hurt, not just me who?s hurt

I went out from the halls of grace

Turned my back on my own

Please, leave your light on for me

'Cos I?ve been taking the long way home
