Alejandro Escovedo - By Eleven lyrics

I hope the castle's clean For your man, he'll be home soon And I hope his lies come clean CHORUS Leave the light on he'll be home by 11 Just leave the light on he'll be home by 11 Will you be there when his ship comes in He'll bring you pure silk And some sweet perfume While the mandolin plays he'll dance you 'Round the room CHORUS Will you be there when his ship sets off For the call of the sea is much too strong His answer will be a kiss, a wave And a soft good bye CHORUS
