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)
