She moved so well 'cause she was a dancer,
|
She went sliding through my questions,
|
gliding 'round the answer.
|
|
Whatever it was, she knew it was holy,
|
And each time I tried to hold her
|
her smile came sad and slowly.
|
She said, "No one knows me."
|
|
Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight.
|
And I feel a little lonely, yes, I need a little light.
|
Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound.
|
I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down.
|
|
She had a dream, I had my typewriter.
|
While I was hacking out such a heavy world
|
she was weaving one much lighter.
|
But I'll never know just how much it cost her,
|
and as I slept beside her something turned and tossed her.
|
And it did till I lost her.
|
|
Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight.
|
And I feel a little lonely, yes, I need a little light.
|
Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound.
|
I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down.
|
|
Bright times were brighter than they'd ever been before, I tell you,
|
Night times were lighter, But they'll never, never be no more.
|
|
Could you put your light on please, it's kind of dark tonight.
|
And I feel a little lonely, yes, I need a little light.
|
Could you put your light on please, let me hear a friendly sound.
|
I could make it through 'til morning if you could let your light shine down.
