Don't Leave The Light On

This morning there's a biblical sunrise
That throws it's light across the mountains
This was their playground, their courtyard, their stamping ground
The place where they melted and moulded together again
And it was the scene of their last final throw of the dice
Their once fantastic place where reality finally set in

Don't leave the light on for me
You know I won't be coming back tonight
Don't leave the light on for me
It's not how it used to be this time

So he's standing there by the side of the lake
Where four months earlier they swam, they walked, they laughed
I think they even talked
He's calling her up to tell her where he is
But he can't speak to her now, she doesn't even want to try and listen
He can hear the children calling, he can see them playing
asking who's on the line
But he knows they can't hear what he's saying
Thank God they can't hear what she's saying

Don't leave the light on for me
You know I wont be coming back tonight
Don't leave the light on for me
It's not how it used to be this time

So it's three weeks later, it's five degrees below,
Not a cloud in the star filled sky
The chapel on the hill is ringing it's midnight bell
A constant reminder of childhood and adolescence
The big birds are calling to each other
Flying too close to each other
Flying too close to the ground
Flying too close to him
And she's a thousand miles away, she may as well be a million
In another world, another life now, another time

Don't leave the light on for me
You know I wont be coming back tonight
Don't leave the light on for me
It's not how it used to be this time
