Leaving A Light On (demo)

*recorded July 2, 2024
Lyrics:
Off I brave the seas
that cost my faith in me
Endless night
But I’m leaving a light on
Tossed my time to spare
and lost my mind out there
But all the while, I been leaving a light on
Everyone you know
has a place they go
where they cry
I’ll be leaving a light on
Forces guide us on
Build us to be strong
But if you fall
I’ll be leaving a light on
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Ive been counting every blessing in my stay
I’ve lived a life of sin
Like I never want it again
And I never wanted it any other way
So lady light a cigarette
and take me for a joyride
and we can ditch the city any day
To cash a life of pain
in for corporate gain
or sulk in silence
I’ll be leaving a light on for ya
When all’s a heavy load
And you can’t find the road
I’ll be by, I’ll be leaving a light on for ya
I’m really sorry but it ain’t that kinda party
I been dancin with my devils I’m afraid
Make me free of sin
I never want it again
Though I never wanted it any other way
So lady light a cigarette
and take me for a joyride
So we can see the city from the bay
On the day I’m gone
and you must carry on
Just play this song
And know I’m keeping an eye out for ya
To all the ones i lost
In every path i cross
Thanks for guidance
and for me keeping an eye out for me
I don’t regret it
I just wish I would’ve said it
when the time was on my side enough to say
That I have lived in sin
And I never want to again
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
So lady light a cigarette
And take me for a joyride
And we can ditch the city
For the quiet countryside
Pray one day I win the bet
and everything is alright
Til then just leave a light on
if I stray
And when your battle’s done,
Any place you’ve travelled from,
I Pray you stay and keep leaving your light on the world
