Lyrics
Leave The Light On
Words and Music by Michael Day
Copyright Invisible Adversary Music ASCAP 2005
Just as the seed needs rain and sunlight
Depending on both grey and blue
So too the ebb and rise
Of the waves of both me and you
All this I need
Just as I define my possessions
By their importance, what they do
So too your absence shows
What seemed old is untouched and new
All this I need
For you I?ll leave the light on
Don?t worry about me, I be right here thinkin bout you all the time
I?ll leave the light on
The light on
When its dark you?ll know to find your way home
Don?t got conditions to love someone in spite of their flaws
Don?t run when told that your afraid
I love you with your flaws
In the storm there is you, I?m saved
All this I need
For you I?ll leave the light on
Don?t worry about me, I be right here thinkin bout you all the time
I?ll leave the light on
The lights on
When its dark you?ll know to find your way home
Home is every time your pressed against my chest
And home is every time I call out your name
I know it gets dark sometimes, be sure you can count on me
I?m right here waitin for you
Lead the way so that you may see
I?ll leave the light on
Don?t worry about me, I be right here thinkin bout you all the time
I?ll leave the light on
The lights on
When its dark you?ll know to find your way home
