Rachel & The Ruckus - Leave Your Light On lyrics

rate me

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
