I woke up Tuesday morning
Staring at the ceiling
Hoping for deliverance
From the distances in you.
This room feels like an oven
Somewhere south of nowhere
And north of nothing
I'm barely out of Tuesday
Seen seven hours of Wednesday
I guess I've got regrets!
Maybe you could leave a light on (leave a light on) for me.
Can you see her,
Waiting there down by the sea?
With a hat on,
Over her eyes and looking for me
If you see me coming home,
Turn me away.
Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday.
She kept me at a distance.
And fifty-two weeks later,
Were still the same.
I'm standing in my basement,
Making my arrangements
And waiting for the telphone
To ring to ring to ring.
So I left from Minnesota
Where the weather's getting colder,
And people are changing.
Maybe you could leave a light on (leave a light on) for me.
Oh can you see her waiting there down by the sea?
And have arrangements to meet there for awhile and baby
If you see me coming home,
Turn me away.
Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday.
And if all this distance
Ain't gonna bring you to me
Then what's the point of all this patience?
It's not your nature
You just keep what you need.
And you got some pictures of me.
I woke up Wednesday morning,
Sometime Wednesday evening,
Hoping for a piece of something easy to believe.
When you live out on the border
Of everything and nothing
There's nothing but waking and dreaming.
I'm barely out of Tuesday.
There's no one to receive me,
And nothing is changing.
Maybe you could leave a light on (leave a light on) for me.
Can you see her
Waiting there down by the sea?
There's a light on,
But there's nobody waiting for me.
If you see me coming home
Turn me away,
Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday,
Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday,
Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday,
Everybody tries to go back somewhere...
