Giving up on San Francisco
Slipping down into LA
Found a hazy state of wonder
Or confusion, or delusion
I think I'm gonna stay
Because it's too late
To fumble my keys
On a dark step
In a midnight breeze
I'm singing
Sister, won't you
Leave the light on
'Till I come back home
I'm so tired of running
Won't you leave the light on
And I'll be coming back home
At dawn we stumble onto sunset
Dressed in yesterday's perfumes
And we're careening into something
Always dreaming
Never sleeping
We're running from the moon
And now it's too late
To wrestle with God
In a red room
With the curtains drawn
Where a warm bed
Becomes just one more place to lie
I'm singing
Sister, won't you
Leave the light on
'Till I come back home
I'm so tired of running
Won't you leave the light on
And I'll be coming back home
Send a note up to my mother
I'll take the long way back around
And if I'm changing all my colors
It's only 'cause we're falling, we're falling
We're falling all year round
Sister, won't you
Leave the light on
'Till I come back home
Yeah
I'm so tired of running
Won't you leave the light on for me
And I'll be coming back home
Oh sweet darling
I'll be coming home soon
Oh, baby
I'll be coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
