Leave A Light On

Yes I recognize that face
You're trying to be brave again
I wish that I could take your place
Can't handle watching you in pain

I tell you stories from outside
Of all the children playing in the snow
How I'm going to miss that smile
It's a thin rope
But I still hope
That you'll leave light on when you go

I come with books for you to read
Though I that it won't change a thing
But I think that I succeed
If you soul gets to fly with broken wings

I guess it's time to face the facts
Statistics say you won't be here for long
But just to be exact
Your favourite song
Is four minutes long
Will it leave a light on when you go

I wish someone would tell me there's a place
Where everyone will gather in the end
I really try to house that dream
But in between I'm losing all my hope, my friend

I know just how things are
That there's a God and he says do or don't
But did he have to go this far
Just to describe ite
Just to prove his point
