Leave a Light On
The Wrights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And running out of road
Leave a light on for me
I'm weary from the travel
And I'm weary from the load
Leave a light on for me
Put one light in the window
If I ever get back home
I won't leave no more
I've been down a million highways
Seen all that I can see
Leave a light on for me
Well I wandered through the darkness
And I wandered through the day
Leave a light on for me
Staggered and I stumbled
And I've nearly lost my way
So leave a light on for me
Put one light in the window
And a light outside the door
If I ever get back home
I won't leave no more
In the midst of all the darkness
There is one light I will see
Leave a light on for me
Put one light in the window
And a light outside the door
If I ever get back home
I won't leave no more
I've been down million highways
Seen all that I can see
So leave a light on for me
Yeah leave a light on for me
In "Leave a Light On," The Wrights present a heart-wrenching narrative of a person who is far away from home and is exhausted from their journey. The singer is desolate and unsure of their way back home. They implore the person at home to leave a light on in the window and outside the door, so they can find their way back home. The lyrics convey a longing and a sense of desperation as the singer yearns for the safety and security of their home. The use of repetition in the chorus emphasizes the desperation even further.
The verses use powerful imagery to describe the journey's physical and emotional exhaustion, both in the darkness of night and the glaring sunshine of the day. The use of metaphors, such as stumbling and nearly losing their way, offers a metaphor for the journey through life, suggesting a deeper significance to the lyrics. All the journey's weariness and hardship emphasized in the song leads to the yearning for hope of a return to a safer and more comfortable place.
Overall, the song's message resonates with every weary traveler, conveying a sense of longing, hope, and direction. The lyrics are written in a way that transports the listener into the singer's shoes, allowing them to experience their pain, hope, and yearning for home.

There is one light I will see

Yeah leave a light on for me
