Jac Holzman - Could You Put Your Light On, Please lyrics

She moved so well 'cause she was a dancer She went sliding through my questions Gliding 'round the answer Whatever it was, she knew it was holy And each time I tried to hold her Her smile came sad and slowly She said, "No one knows me." Could you put your light on please It's kind of dark tonight And I feel a little lonely Yes, I need a little light Could you put your light on please Let me hear a friendly sound I could make it through 'til morning If you could let your light shine down She had a dream, I had my typewriter While I was hacking out such a heavy world She was weaving one much lighter But I'll never know just how much it cost her And as I slept beside her Something turned and tossed her And it did till I lost her Could you put your light on please It's kind of dark tonight And I feel a little lonely Yes, I need a little light Could you put your light on please Let me hear a friendly sound I could make it through 'til morning If you could let your light shine down Bright times were brighter Than they'd ever been before, I tell you Night times were lighter But they'll never, never be no more Could you put your light on please It's kind of dark tonight And I feel a little lonely Yes, I need a little light Could you put your light on please Let me hear a friendly sound I could make it through 'til morning If you could let your light shine down
