So long…so long…So long since I have seen your face, feels like I’m torn in two
Another day and I wonder where you are and where you might be going to
You know I’m setting the table, you’re always welcome to stay
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll leave the light on so you
can finally find your way to my door
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll leave the light on so you
Can try to find the will so you won’t run away
‘cause all this time I want you to be home
Another day and I wonder where you are
Because I’m longing, longing, yearning, yearning, To see you, to see you, to hold you
Sent out my letter’s to reach you, all had the message that read
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll leave the light on so you
can finally find your way to my door
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll leave the light on so you
Can try to find the will so you won’t run away
‘cause all this time I want you to be home
Let’s run my love, I call and I can see you, calling out x2
I can see you calling out
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll leave the light on so you
can finally find your way to my door
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll leave the light on so you
Can try to find the will so you won’t run away
‘cause all this time I want you to be home
I’ve seen you walk, I see you walk ‘round the corner,
You don’t know where you are
I hear you talk, I’ve seen you cry in the dust
You wonder where you are
You wonder where you might sleep
And what you want is beyond your reaching
To the sale on the corner, receiving your gratuity
To the rich man and the poor man, the lovely and the ugly
To the emotional disorder and self obsession vanity
To the drunkard and the lawyer, don’t want you to bleed for your insanity
To the insta-me performer and what you only want people to see
The academic and illiterate, admired, despised, everything between
To the greedy and the generous, the flamboyant and the ordinary
I’ll leave the light on, I’ll leave the light on so you
can finally find your way to my door
