Porch Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The darkest night I ever seen It was the night you came to me On your knees whispering "I'm sorry" Keeping time with your heartbeat I danced along on two left feet You kissed my cheek and left me on a city street [Pre-Chorus] Tell me where'd you go When you left my home on your bike alone There was room for me on your handlebars We could've seen the stars [Chorus] You wanna live a life of restlessness Wander round singing the blues You find solace in the bar-room girls They've got nothing to lose You want a little life of loneliness Baby, so do I I wanna sit under the porch light And watch the yellow moon rise [Verse 2] If I were to let you go How far you'd fall, I'll never know I'd grab your toes and swing you like a circus show Tame the tiger, swallow fire Tiptoe across the tightrope wire Out there I hear the choir [Pre-Chorus 2] Would you help me find another stone to grind And another man to mind? Would you recognize that I might be a prize? I might be a prize [Chorus] You wanna live a life of restlessness Wander round singing the blues You find solace in the bar-room girls They got nothing to lose You wanna live a life of loneliness Baby, so do I I wanna sit under the porch light And watch the yellow moon rise [Outro] You wanna live a life of loneliness Baby, so do I I wanna sit under the porch light
