Leave the Light On

When the fall begins, time will come to take me in
I'll be strong, I hope you'll do the same
I would stay, you know, but my honor begs me go
Just a pawn lost in another rich man's game

Leave the light on for me, lady
So in the darkness I can find my way home
Leave your light on for me, lady
Let me know that I'm not alone

Five years have passed us by, not one without you on my mind
Your face is all I ever dream of
It's so cold at night, I pretend that it's all right
But I keep your candle burning in the window

Leave the light on for me, lady
So in the darkness I can find my way home
Leave your light on for me, lady
Let me know that I'm not alone

It's been ten years now, since I struck that rich man down
As he tried to take you for his own
Can you see my light? I pray it guides you home tonight
'Cause I'm tired of sleeping all alone

So leave the light on for me, lady
So in the darkness I can find my way home
Leave your light on for me, lady
Let me know that I'm not alone

Leave the light on for me, lady
So in the darkness I can find my way home
Leave your light on for me, lady
Let me know that I'm not alone
