lyrics

Your coat is on the hook
I pass it — I can't look
Two cups out, an old habit
I pour yours down the drain — damn it

They tell me to be brave
As if you were a phase
But love is not a wave
It's the shore — it stays, it stays

The light stays on, the light stays on
I don't know how to face the dawn
The light stays on, the light stays on
Come home even if I'm wrong
The light stays on — hear me now
Heaven, give him back somehow

Your glasses, folded, waiting
On chapter thirty-one
The story's hesitating
It can't end — it's not done

The light stays on, the light stays on
I don't know how to face the dawn
The light stays on, the light stays on
Come home even if I'm wrong
The light stays on — hear me now
Heaven, give him back somehow

If heaven has a hallway
Walk it slow for me
I'll learn to live this small way
Till it's my turn to see

The light stays on, the light stays on
I don't know how to face the dawn
The light stays on, the light stays on
Come home even if I'm wrong
The light stays on — hear me now
Heaven, give him back somehow

The light stays on
It stays, it stays
