The Porch Light On
Songtext
IntroVerseEleven forty, I turn the corner slowThe street's asleep and all the windows fadeBut there's one lamp that never lets me goA yellow circle that your hands have madePre-ChorusYou never asked me why I came back lateYou never made me stand and hesitateYou only kept the kettle warm and lowAnd left a light so I would always knowChorusYou left the porch light on for meA little sun above the doorSo I could find my way back homeThe way I did a thousand times before(You kept it on)And now I'll leave mine on for youHowever late the hour growsA porch light burning in the darkSo you will always knowInterludeVerseThe screen door whispers when I tiptoe inThe kitchen radio's humming soft and lowThere's soup still warm and a note in pencil thinSaying sleep well, I had to let you goPre-ChorusNow I count the hours I made you waitAnd every sorry that I said too lateStill you kept the kettle warm and lowAnd left a light so I would always knowChorusYou left the porch light on for meA little sun above the doorSo I could find my way back homeThe way I did a thousand times before(You kept it on)And now I'll leave mine on for youHowever late the hour growsA porch light burning in the darkSo you will always knowBridgeSomeday the waiting will be mineTo leave a light on for my ownAnd I'll understand the way you shineWhen all the day is doneChorusYou left the porch light on for meA little sun above the doorSo I could find my way back homeThe way I did a thousand times before(You kept it on)And now I'll leave mine on for youHowever late the hour growsA porch light burning in the darkSo you will always knowOutroSo tonight before I sleepI'll say it in the only way I knowYou left the porch light on for meAnd I will never let it go(I'll never let it go)Happy birthday from the girl who's always coming homeInstrumental
