The Walkabouts & Alma Novaes

- The Light Will Stay On

Everytime i went to visit you,

or unexpectadly saw you in the streets

of our city

i was fightin' my inner ghosts

in fact, your love haunted me for ages

Never forgot you

never wanted to

because i was a mere reflection of you

Everytime i did saw you,

you never disappear from my heart

only you knew it, yes, i know you did

because all my body shake

my hands tremble, my mouth shutted

and my heart was singin' me our song

Our song of love, 

our song never stopped in me,

so the light will stay on

And yes, i dreamed you

i put you in a pedestal

that's where you still are.

You're my house, my kingdom

my everything

and you can, now write it to you

on a paper, on your heart: 

this time i'm not quittin'

this time i will fight for your love!

So, tell her, tell  that evil woman

that no legs of frog,

no saltin' dog, nor jumpin' bonfires

nor whispers with bad intentions can 

put me away from my love!

So, the light will stay on,

It's been a nightmare since you've gone

with that witch

a nightmare of storms

Now, tell her i will fight

tell her you're my light 

and even her bad things 

done in the past, 

her witchcraft can't make 

me forgive or last

-so, the light will stay on,

 

who i am: i'm your house,

you're my everything

that's what you are, Tino, 

oh yes you are

my king among frogs, 

my prince among commoners

I'm still alone

but would you listen

the music i'm doing

during the night

the poems i write to you

direct to your heart!?

_so the light will stay on

forever, waitin' you

till death come take me

but i still let the light on
