Lyrics
Leave a Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And leave a light on in your lonely window
And the heartfelt welcome in your eye
From far away on the deep black ocean
You're the one I'll come back to find
So say goodbye to the long cold winter
And farewell to all we've left behind
From far away, on the deep black ocean
You're the one I'll come back to find
So sing the song that your mother taught you
Of the gypsy heart that never rests
And wait a while for the arms that once held you
And pull them close into your breast
So say goodbye to the long cold winter
And farewell to all we've left behind
And leave a light on and come out of the shadows
You're the one I'll come back to find
You're the one I'll come back to find
