Put the Light On
He sits alone in a crowded station
And lights his cigarette
The light flickers slightly
And tells him politely
His life's not at it's best
She weighs him up 'cos his love's taken lightly
And love's her only regret
But love's not a sin in her eyes
And she's asking him why -
Why are you leaving
I just can't say
Why are you leaving
He don't know daddy's gonna stay
Put a little light in her darkest day
So she can see it
Put a little love in her heart on the way
So she can feel it
He walks home with his pride in his pocket
And pulls it out with his change
And his love is something and it just turned into nothing
Now isn't that strange
She holds her head high close to the bright sky
He's got his head in the clouds
But love's not a sin in her eyes
And he's telling her why
Why are you leaving
I just can't say
Why are you leaving
He don't know daddy's gonna stay
Put a little light in her darkest day
So she can see it
Put a little love in her heart on the way
So she can feel it
And lights his cigarette
The light flickers slightly
And tells him politely
His life's not at it's best
She weighs him up 'cos his love's taken lightly
And love's her only regret
But love's not a sin in her eyes
And she's asking him why -
Why are you leaving
I just can't say
Why are you leaving
He don't know daddy's gonna stay
Put a little light in her darkest day
So she can see it
Put a little love in her heart on the way
So she can feel it
He walks home with his pride in his pocket
And pulls it out with his change
And his love is something and it just turned into nothing
Now isn't that strange
She holds her head high close to the bright sky
He's got his head in the clouds
But love's not a sin in her eyes
And he's telling her why
Why are you leaving
I just can't say
Why are you leaving
He don't know daddy's gonna stay
Put a little light in her darkest day
So she can see it
Put a little love in her heart on the way
So she can feel it
