lyrics

(a kettle ticking as it cools)

Your coffee cup is on the sill
The lipstick ghost is on it still
I wash each plate but leave that one
Some things stay dirty when you're gone
(when you're gone)

They say the winter here is long
(so long)
You said the dark can hold a song

The blue house keeps the light on
The blue house keeps the light on
For a car that won't come back tonight
The blue house keeps the light on
I can't be the one to kill the light
The blue house keeps the light on
(the light on, the light on)

Your coat still hangs beside the door
Sleeve folded like it did before
I wear it when I clear the snow
It's how you hold me now, I know
(I know, I know)

Mamma, the ice sings on the lake
You always said that means the spring
(means the spring)

The blue house keeps the light on
The blue house keeps the light on
For a car that won't come back tonight
The blue house keeps the light on
I can't be the one to kill the light
The blue house keeps the light on
(the light on, the light on)

The light stays on.
(stays on... stays on)
