Colin Hay - I'll Leave The Light On lyrics

I woke up this morning Same old questions in my head At least the weather's getting cooler now No longer forced to leave my bed The sun shines through my window Makes my old house creak and moan Reminds me of the old lady down the market Sitting in the sun, stretching her weary bones And I'll leave the light on So you can see I'll leave the light on Should you decide to visit me Time is time and time is time and time just rolls along It's with you every second Though it has no shape or form Sometimes I get so anxious As your path leads you away But I know it's only my loneliness And it pa**es with the day I've been an angry and a jealous man And I have no right to be Perhaps it's just my wicked, wicked ways Catching up to me Still I've done my time And I've paid the price After all what's just a little pain If I learn from my mistakes Then my loss becomes my gain Still I'll leave the light on So you can see I'll leave the light on Should you decide to visit me This is the end that is no end With the beginning yet to come I'm going to throw the doors wide open I'm going to let my spirit run I'm going to take the path that is most yielding And in time my steps shall disappear I'll pound my head against the wall no more I'll be still so I can hear And if I drop all my pretensions About how much you broke my heart I really do feel grateful As we drift further apart I will follow my distant vision I'm going to listen to my voice You showed me the way to freedom You really made the only choice And so you see I'll leave the light on Should you decide Should you ever decide to visit me
