When the fall begins, time will come to take me in I'll be strong, I hope you'll do the same I would stay, you know, but my honor begs me go Just a pawn lost in another rich man's game Leave the light on for me, lady So in the darkness I can find my way home Leave your light on for me, lady Let me know that I'm not alone Five years have passed us by, not one without you on my mind Your face is all I ever dream of It's so cold at night, I pretend that it's all right But I keep your candle burning in the window Leave the light on for me, lady So in the darkness I can find my way home Leave your light on for me, lady Let me know that I'm not alone It's been ten years now, since I struck that rich man down As he tried to take you for his own Can you see my light? I pray it guides you home tonight 'Cause I'm tired of sleeping all alone So leave the light on for me, lady So in the darkness I can find my way home Leave your light on for me, lady Let me know that I'm not alone Leave the light on for me, lady So in the darkness I can find my way home Leave your light on for me, lady Let me know that I'm not alone
