Porch Light

Sometimes the mist off the river hovers over the road

Just like a painful memory of someone who's long gone

When I get carried away in town or have trouble finding my way home

I leave the porch light on

Like a tree that comes out crooked I find it hard getting straight

Sometimes I wonder who is that stranger in my mirror looking back at me?

I keep waiting on the boy I was to come walking down the road

So I leave the porch light on

My angels can't seem to find me in all this fog and gloom

And I ain't expecting Jesus to show up anytime soon

The skies are crashing all around me and it feels like all hope is gone

But I still leave the porch light on

You know I miss you Darling, I still think about you even now

But some men were born to climb the stairs to heaven while others tunnel their way to hell

If you ever fly too close to the sun or get lost on life's storms

Then I'll leave the porch light on
