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 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

But each time I slept beside her something turned and tossed her

And it did till I lost her



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



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
