Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wouldn't be the first time love made a fool of me

Wouldn't even care, but now you're here to see

It comes as no surprise

Just leave the light on

[Verse 2]

What I wouldn't give if you could have it all

The sun's goin' down, the bed that breaks the fall

Cradle and the bow

[Verse 3]

So you can take comfort now

You can take comfort now

[Verse 4]

Sometimes the heart can break and make it's own relief

The way a cold, dark night invites the fire thief

He wants to show us how

[Verse 5]

So we can take comfort now

We can take comfort now

We can take comfort now

[Verse 6]

Leave the light on

Leave the light on

[Verse 7]

Wouldn't be the first time love made a fool of me

(Leave the light on, leave the light on)

Wouldn't even care, but now you're here to see

(Leave the light on, leave the light on)

Leave the light (Leave the light on, leave the light on)

Leave the light (Leave the light on, leave the light on)

Leave the light (Leave the light on, leave the light on)

(Leave the light on)
