Please Leave Your Light On

Please leave your light on for me Let it shine all through the night I know by now you’re not expecting me I’ve been so long out of sight I’m coming through the darkest hour now, Mama Don’t give up on me just yet I got no excuses for you But I sure got some regrets Yeah, I sure got some regrets I went out from the halls of grace My soul turned into stone Please leave your light on for me ‘Cause I’ve been taking the long way home Please go easy when you see me, Mama I just might fall apart I know I’ve tried your patience I know I’ve stretched your heart The sky fell down hard upon me I’ve been crawling in the dirt Nobody’s fault but mine for sure And not just me who’s hurt Yeah, not just me who’s hurt I went out from the halls of grace Turned my back on my own Please leave your light on for me I’ve been taking the long way home --- Please Leave Your Light On - Paul Kelly and Paul Grabowsky
