From the recording Doors Open at Nine
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don’t close the curtains anymore
I don’t lock the back or the front door
Every night I tell myself it’s done
Then I reach and leave the lamp burning on
[Chorus]
One light left on
In case you find your way back home
One light left on
So you won’t walk this street alone
I’ll be here when the night is gone
With one light left on
[Verse 2]
Neighbors whisper as they pass on by
Say a man should learn to say goodbye
But I’ve said it in a hundred ways
And my heart just won’t believe a word it says
[Chorus]
One light left on
In case you find your way back home
One light left on
So you won’t walk this street alone
I’ll be here when the night is gone
With one light left on
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re a thousand miles away
Maybe you’re just one turn from today
If you ever see that window glow
That’s the only way I know to let you know
[Chorus]
One light left on
In case you find your way back home
One light left on
So you won’t walk this street alone
I’ll be here when the night is gone
With one light left on
[Outro]
One light left on
Still on
