lyrics

Leave a Light On – words and music by Greg Ferguson

VERSE 1
Leave a light on for me; I don’t know if you remember
But we’ve gone by each other a time or two before
Leave a light on for me; I drive by this church so often
I pull up for just a moment and I look inside the door

Leave a light on for me ‘cause I’ve been a lot of places
And I’ve learned a lot of lessons and the lessons take their toll
Leave a light on – so I can look for what’s left of my soul

VERSE 2
Leave a light on for me ‘cause my world keeps getting bigger
But my heart’s been getting smaller and it chills me to the bone
Leave a light on for me ‘cause I thought I had the answers
But now I’ve got these questions that won’t leave me alone

Leave a light on for me ‘cause I’ve always been a fighter
But I never knew how much of life was out of my control
Leave a light on - ‘cause now I can’t see where to go

BRIDGE
I don’t know why I keep on driving by your door
I’m not exactly sure just what I’m looking for
Is there a candle burning in the hope of my returning?
Do you mean to shine a light…or to just keep out the night?
I wanna know…I wanna know

VERSE 3
So leave a light on for me; shine it out into the darkness
So I can always see it in the corner of my eye
Leave a light on for me; so when I drive by tomorrow
I’ll believe the door’s still open and I might go back inside

Leave a light on for me – I’ve kept my distance from religion
But I always hoped there might be someone watching over me
Leave a light on and maybe this time…
Leave a light on and maybe this time...
Leave a light on and maybe this time...I’ll believe
