The Whitlams - Keep The Light On
We stumble into each other's lives
and we knock some things over
Try not to make a sound
Each time you reach out
a new shout or shine-on
We run in and fall out
fumble around for the key
I'll always keep the light on for you
You try so hard to be alive
What else can you do
but close your eyes
You can't see the beautiful way
when you're burning so bright
Your halfpenny eyes smile like a fire-sale
Everyone's a suspect
the horses won't move up the rail
I'll always keep the light on for you
You try so hard to be alive
What else can you do
but close your eyes
You can't see the beautiful way
when you're burning so bright
Your sadness a thief waits
in the hallway
With mail on the floor
and 2 birds in the chimney
I'll always keep the light on for you
You try so hard to be alive
What else can you do
but close your eyes
You can't see the beautiful way
when you're burning so bright
I'll always keep the light on for you
You try so hard to be alive
What else can you do
but close your eyes
You can't see the beautiful way
when you're burning so bright
so bright
burning so bright
