The Light
Jeff & Sheri Easter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m lost in my mind.
But you’ll see tomorrow before I can.
Hangin’ dry on a phone line
And I can’t hold you close.
The miles between us tear me down.
So, leave your light on in the window.
Just let me know when you made it home.
I just gotta know you’re not all the way gone.
I’m taking some time off
to try and rest my bones.
I’ll get drunk on the memories of you tonight, oh tonight, so
Leave your light on in the window.
Just let me know when you made it home.
Leave your light on in the window.
I just gotta know you’re not all the way gone.
(Ahh)
(Ahh)
You’re not all the way gone.
(Ahh)
Ohhh
(Leave your light on)
I’m still singin’ the same ol’ songs.
Leave your light on in the window.
I just gotta know you’re not all the way gone.
