Light Is Shining Through

Verse 1

Another hotel ceiling, another borrowed bed

Your voice is on the telephone and it's calming down my head

Eleven hundred miles of road between your door and mine

But I can see the lamp you left on, and it's burning fine

Verse 2

You never ask me to be someone I'm not

You never keep a record of the plans that I forgot

We give each other room to roam, we give each other space

And somehow that's the reason that we're always in one place

Chorus

Leave the lamp in the window, I'm coming home slow

Leave the lamp in the window, you're the only place I know

Miles don't mean a thing when the light is shining through

Leave the lamp in the window, I'll be back to you

Verse 3

There's a postcard on the fridge from a town I barely saw

There's a song I wrote for you with a chorus full of flaws

But the quiet when we're talking is the best part of my day

And the world feels pretty gentle when you've got nothing to say

Chorus

Leave the lamp in the window, I'm coming home slow

Leave the lamp in the window, you're the only place I know

Miles don't mean a thing when the light is shining through

Leave the lamp in the window, I'll be back to you

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Oh, the road may bend and the years may turn

Oh, there's a fire that I'm happy to learn

Hold the glow, hold the glow, through the dark and through the rain

And I'll find the way, I'll find the way home again

Chorus

Leave the lamp in the window, I'm closer than before

Leave the lamp in the window, I can see your door

Miles don't mean a thing when the light is shining through

Leave the lamp in the window, I'm home with you

Outro

Leave the lamp in the window, I'm home with you
