leave a light on

flame, flame an october sky
rain, rain come to keep me dry
dead, dead leaves drift to the ground
like my heart, heart breaks without a sound

i see a light on but it's not on for me
your light's on, it's not on for me

flame, flame-lit cigarette tips
i'll blow, blow your name from my lips
smoke, smoke spinning black and blue
my heart, heart breaks at the thought of you

i see a light on but it's not on for me
your light's on, it's not on for me

now, now i am going home
to a light of my own
somebody leave a light on

i see a light on but it's not on for me
somebody leave a light on

ice queen (then, go)

you told me today you are going away- well then, go
you're going the same, with or without my approval
i know birds of summer can't survive the snow
and it's not half as cold as the shadow cast by my soul
well then- go

i'm like a puzzle, reassembled from memory
it's better to quit if you can't get the pieces to fit
i know birds of summer can't survive the snow
and it's not half as cold as the shadow cast by my soul
well then- go

i can't be touched, you talk too much and say nothing
mouth forming words i've already heard, i'm not listening
i know birds of summer can't survive the snow
and it's not half as cold as the shadow cast by my soul
well then- go
