Put the Light On

He sits alone in a crowded station

And lights his cigarette

The light flickers slightly

And tells him politely

His life's not at it's best

She weighs him up 'cos his love's taken lightly

And love's her only regret

But love's not a sin in her eyes

And she's asking him why - "Why are you leaving"

"I just can't say"

"Why are you leaving"

"He don't know daddy's gonna stay"

Put a little light in her darkest day

So she can see it

Put a little love in her heart on the way

So she can feel it

He walks home with his pride in his pocket

And pulls it out with his change

And his love is something and it just turned to nothing

Now isn't that strange

She holds her head high close to a bright sky

He's got his head in a cloud

But love's not a sin in her eyes

He's telling her why - "why are you leaving"

"I just can't say"

"Why are you leaving"

"He don't know daddy's gonna stay"

Put a little light in her darkest day

So she can see it

Put a little love in her heart on the way

So she can feel it
