Leave The Light On Lyrics - Singles - Chris Smither

If I were young again, I'd pay attention - To that 

little-known dimension 

A taste of endless time 

It's just like water - it runs right through our fingers 

But the flavor of it lingers - Like a rich, red wine 

In those days we were single - we lived them one by one 

Now we hardly see 'em - they don't walk - they run 

But I've got plenty left I've set my sight on 

Don't wait up - Leave the light on - I'll be - home - 

soon

Short break 

I've never seen my life in such a hurry - But if I 

stop to worry - I get left behind 

It's just a party, but you don't get invitations - and 

there's just one destination 

You better be on time. 

For years we rhymed in s - And we sang 'em two by two 

Now we hardly rhyme at all - but here's a few 

And if they hurt, there's bullets left to bite on 

Don't wait up - Leave the light on - I'll be - home - 

soon 

Short break

That drummer in my head needs inspiration 

There's a lack of syncopation - and it holds me to a line 

It's just so hard to leave these cages that we're thinking 

By stages we're just sinkin' - to a slow decline 

For years we lived in waltz time - we danced them 

three by three 

Now it's hard to dance, but if you stick with me - 

We've got what we need to spend the night on - 

Don't wait up - Leave the light on - I'll be - home - 

soon 

Break 

These races that we've run were not for glory - No 

moral to this story - 

We run for peace of mind. 

But the race we're running now is never-ending - space and time are bending 

And there's no finish line - 

I will live to be a hundred - I was born in '44 - 33 to go, but I ain't keepin' score - 

I've been left for dead before - but I still fight on -Don't wait up - Leave the light on 

I'll be home soon 

'Cause I been left for dead before - but I still fight on - 

Don't wait up - Leave the light on 

I'll be home soon
