Could You Put Your Light On Please? Lyrics

 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.
