I leave the light on by my bed
To chase away the things you said
The glow just hums a lullaby
To keep your ghost from passing by
I tell the dark you're coming soon
And sing your name into the room
Until the lamp goes out, I wait
On promises that came too late
In golden tones I keep you near
As if you'll walk through shadows here
The flicker dances just like you
Soft and warm, then drifting through
I count the hums, I count the doubt
I’ll stay until the lamp goes out
To chase away the things you said
The glow just hums a lullaby
To keep your ghost from passing by
I tell the dark you're coming soon
And sing your name into the room
Until the lamp goes out, I wait
On promises that came too late
In golden tones I keep you near
As if you'll walk through shadows here
The flicker dances just like you
Soft and warm, then drifting through
I count the hums, I count the doubt
I’ll stay until the lamp goes out
