lyrics
(a radiator ticks) (mmm...) Your reading glasses on the sill Still folded toward the garden view I cannot make the kettle fill For one instead of two (instead of two) The house still listens for your key (for your key) It never once has asked of me I keep the light on, I keep the light on In case you're only late I keep the light on, I keep the light on Though I know better — I keep the light on (keep the light on) The marmalade outlasted you March, says the label on the lid I eat it slow, the way you'd do And say thank you, as you always did (as you did) I keep the light on, I keep the light on In case you're only late I keep the light on, I keep the light on Though I know better — I keep the light on (keep the light on) Your coat still holds the shape of you (the shape of you) I wear it wrong, I wear it true I keep the light on, I keep the light on In case you're only late I keep the light on, I keep the light on Though I know better — I keep the light on (keep the light on) (a radiator ticks) I keep the light on (keep the light on)
