I promised I'd wait up
So I'm waiting
Sun goes down, the sky turns gray
I watch the daylight fade away
Your rocking chair is sitting still
It cuts me with the winter chill
I pour two cups, I'll drink them both
I'm bound by love, I'm bound by hope
Neighbors say I've lost my mind
But I ain't leaving you behind
They say you're gone for good this time
But believing that would be a crime
I keep the porch light burning bright
To guide you through the lonely night
You come walking up the drive
It makes the memory feel alive
The bulb might flicker, glass might crack
But I ain't never turning back, until my final breath is strong
The light stays on
The light stays on
Moths are dancing 'round the flame
Wind is whispering your name
It's been ten years or maybe more
Since you walked out that wooden door
My eyes are tired, my hands are rough
But waiting here is love enough
I clean the glass, I change the wire
I keep on tending to the fire
The darkness tries to take the house
But I'm as quiet as a mouse
I keep the porch light burning bright
To guide you through the lonely night
If you come walking up the drive
It makes the memory feel alive
The bulb might flicker, glass might crack
But I ain't never turning back, until my final breath is strong
The light stays on
The light stays on
The shadows stretch, the shadows grow
I miss you more than folks will know
I keep the porch light burning bright
To guide you through the lonely night
If you come walking up the drive
It makes the memory feel alive
The bulb might flicker, glass might crack
But I ain't never turning back, until my final breath is strong
The light stays on
The light stays on
I ain't sleeping yet
