Leave the Light On

[MIDDLE NOAH] I'll leave the light on, turn down the bed Heat up the kettle, butter some bread Stay up 'til midnight haunting these halls Let's hang our memories all over these walls Where have you gone? Just out for a walk? And when you get back, we'll have us a talk About life, about war, about dinner, and more 'Bout the sun and the moon And where have you gone? Another sunset, it happens to fall Right into a new day, crushing us all And night after new night, like the nights come and gone Living is waiting, living and wanting, living alone And where have you gone? Just out for a walk? And when you get back, we'll have us a talk About life, about war, about dinner, and more 'Bout the sun and the moon And we'll go up to bed, wash the world from our heads Are you coming back? Are you coming back soon? [MIDDLE NOAH & ENSEMBLE] We build these walls (We build these walls) To live inside (To live inside) And make a home (And make a home) And shut our eyes and dream (And shut our eyes and dream) And when I see you, you're everywhere Planting a garden, biting your lip Watching the snowstorm keeping me warm I almost feel you—, you're kissing my neck Blinking and breathing, laughing and leaving And the hole in my chest isn't there anymore Where have you gone? Oh, where have you gone? I build these walls to bring you home But all they bring me is more alone Maybe I'll move on, maybe I won't But I'll leave the light on anyway I'll leave the light on
