Woke up to this morning

staring at the ceiling

hoping for deliverance

from the distances in you.

this room feels like an oven

somewhere south of nowhere

north of nothing

barely out of Tuesday

seen seven hours of Wednesday

And I guess I 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,

with her eyes in there looking for me.



if you see me coming home turn me away

everybody tries to go back somewhere someday

Wont you give me the distance

52 weeks later, your still the same

I'm standing im my basement

making my arrangements

waiting for the telephone

to ring

to ring

to ring



So I left for Minnesota

where the weather is getting colder

people are changing

maybe you could leave a light on

leave a light on for me



can you see her

waiting there down by the sea

& how arrangements made there for welcoming me?

if you see me coming home turn me away

everybody tries to go back somewhere someday

And for all this distance

aint going to bring you to me

what's the point of all this patience

its not your nature

you just keep what you need

and you got some pictures of me



woke up Wendsday morning

sometime Wednesday evening

hoping for a piece of

something easy to believe

we live out on the border

of everything and nothing

theres nothing but waking and dreaming

barely out of tuesday

theres no one to receive me

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 no body 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.
