Could You Put Your Light On Please

She moved so well 'cause she was a dancer,

She went sliding through my questions,

Gliding 'round the answer.

Whatever it was, she knew it was holy,

And each time i tried to hold her

Her smile came sad and slowly.

She said, "no one knows me."

Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight.

And i feel a little lonely, yes, i need a little light.

Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound.

I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down.

She had a dream, i had my typewriter.

While i was hacking out such a heavy world

She was weaving one much lighter.

But i'll never know just how much it cost her,

And as i slept beside her something turned and tossed her.

And it did till i lost her.

Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight.

And i feel a little lonely, yes, i need a little light.

Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound.

I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down.

Bright times were brighter than they'd ever been before, i tell you,

Night times were lighter, but they'll never, never be no more.

Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight.

And i feel a little lonely, yes, i need a little light.

Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound.

I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down.
