porchlight waiting

(hummmm) The opener got three songs to play

Said 'forever' in a quiet way

Means 'maybe' in a waiting room

With old magazines in the gloom

And the porch light

stays visible

Underneath the heavy sky

Yeah, the porch light

stays visible (ooh,

and we never say goodbye)

Fading ink on paper walls

Silence echoing in the halls

A porch light left on through the day

Flickering as we turn away

Leave it on, leave it on

(leave it on)

Leave it on, leave it on (hummmm)
