Grant-Lee Phillips - "Leave a Light On" (Official Video)

From the album “Lightning, Show Us Your Stuff,” available here: ffm.to/glpligh...
Those of us, who spend our lives on the move, with jobs that take us away from the people we love - we know what it means to be welcomed back home. I shot this footage on the road back in February when I was out with my pals John Doe and Kristin Hersh for our Exile Follies tour. Cities, alleys, bridges and snow-covered fields - I tried to take a picture of it all. When I got home I stitched it all together and set it to my song “Leave a Light On.” It’s a front-seat travelogue and a hymn on the ritual of coming home. - Grant-Lee Phillips
Aim this bird in your direction
Gotta’ get me home
Been draggin’ ‘round my case too long
Starved of sunlit days
Waking to an endless dawn
But a man ain’t made to be this strong
I got a ways to go
The stars are all that I can see
But I’ll be there before you know
Just leave a light on
Leave a light on for me
Well I miss your face
Being the first one that I see each day
Talk on the phone is not the same
But is it wrong because I love it when I do my job
And I just ain’t found no better way
I got some miles to go
The stars are all that I can see
I’ll be there before you know
Just leave a light on
Leave a light on
Leave a light on for me
Leave a light on for me
Aim this bird in your direction
Gotta’ get me home
Feels like time is moving slow
But it’s so dark outside these windows
Mama, here we go
One more circle ‘round the globe
And when you’re fast asleep
Let me come into your dreams
I’ll be there before you know
Just leave a light on
Leave a light on
Leave a light on for me
Leave a light on for me
