Sodium lamp, with your soft orange light, shine on me, I have no after-glow tonight,
My love has gone, up and driven away, he loved me and left me, he said he couldn't stay.
He'll be back with the morning sun, but tears run, here in the night, oh, bring me your sodium light.
Sodium lamp, confidante dear, shine on me, your lamp-light soft and clear,
The moon and stars don't listen to me, they belong to lovers, but I am lost and lonely.
He'll be back with the morning sun, but tears run, here in the night, oh, bring me your sodium light.
Here in the night only your light
Breaks the dread monotony of lonely shadows crowding me
When I am waiting for daybreak, when I am hiding from heartache,
Waiting for the sun to rise, for morning and my lover's eyes to shine.
Sodium lamp, gentle and warm, shine on me, you are my beacon in the storm,
I'm lost and alone in the cold of the night, waiting for my love to dawn and set my world to rights.
And he'll be back with the morning sun, but tears run, here in the night, oh, bring me your sodium light.
