keep a light on

all these days

travellin far and travellin wide

when i had it all inside to draw from

all this time

the nights were dark

i have been alone too long to find my way




so keep a light on

keep the fire in your heart

keep a light on

keep on




all this time

so much closer to the truth

so much closer to you than i thought

all these miles

never got me very far

never got me what i thought i wanted so




keep a light on

keep the fire in your heart

keep a light on

keep on




burning till the wick dies out

smoking in a pool of wax

burning till there's no way out

and you finally face yourself




all these nights

brought the promise of the day

brought you nearer to my door

than i hoped for

all these prayers have been answered with your smile

there is no road that gets me there

like your eyes

so keep the light on

keep the fire in your heart

keep the light on

keep on




keep the light on

keep the fire in your heart

keep the light on

keep on

keep on
