Lights

From The Back Room2005

Written by Chris Urbanowicz, Edward Lay

Lyrics

Lights

I still love the light on, baby It keeps me awake but I don't mind

Everything I always wanted Is right there but soon it won't be

Oh, if fortune favours the brave I am as poor, poor as they come I've got a million things to say I've got a million things to

I still love the light on baby It keeps me awake but I don't mind Everything I always wanted Is right there but soon it won't be

Oh, if fortune favours the brave I am as poor, poor as they come I've got a million things to say I've got a million things to—

I still love the light on, baby I still love the light on, baby I still love the light on, baby I still love the light on, baby

Oh, if fortune favours the brave I am as poor, poor as they come I've got a million things to say

I've got a million things to Ah, a million things to say A million things to say A million things to say
