Leave the Light on

The Autumn moon hangs for you Forever brilliant in my mind A distant train, the smell of rain All the words I could never find But I can't recognize your smile No I can't remember your face There's a lost and found in my head, in my head I pick through souvenirs for promises that you never kept Leave the light on when you go The Jersey sun like a loaded gun Trailed me like a private eye The plans we made, the debts I paid Reduced to rumors and alibis But I can't recognize your smile No I can't remember your face There's a lost and found in my head, in my head I pick through souvenirs for promises that you never kept Leave the light on when you go You're the leaves in the drainpipe I can't quite reach The waves in the harbor that don't find the beach A siren that's whistling from five miles away The smell of the asphalt in a late summer rain Once in awhile you sneak to my bed To remind me of memories I thought I had shed How painfully strange to know someone at all Til one day you wake up with nobody to call Leave the light on when you go Leave the light on when you go Leave the light on when you go Leave the light on when you go
