Ghost Light

What if I leave the light on So the dark has a friend If the ghost light is burning We'll invite something in Let the dark free her secrets That she keeps swallowing Let her borrow my voice now What if darkness could sing What would the dark say if she could What I wouldn't give if for just one night I could shine so you'd see me But all I've ever been is the absence of the light I don't shine, no one sees me So I want you, you, you Want you, you, you Want you, you, you Want you, you, you What if I leave the light on So the darkness could speak If the veil could be lifted What if shadows were seen Could they offer their wisdom Would they feel some relief Let them borrow my voice now What if shadows could speak What I wouldn't give if for just one night I could shine so you would see me But all I've ever been is the absence of the light I don't shine, no one sees me So I want you, you, you Want you, you, you What I wouldn't give if for just one night I could shine so you would see me What I wouldn't give if for just one night I could shine so you would see me --- Ghost Light - Sara Bareilles
