Janis Ian
Light a Light
[Verse 1]
I hear your voice in every corridor
I see your face in every picture frame
I feel your eyes in every starry sky
Lover, am I coming home again

[Verse 2]
Now am I humble, who once was proud
Now am I silent, who once was loud
Now am I waiting for the sound of your saying—
Lover, am I coming home again

[Chorus]
When you're gone, the sun don't shine
Light a light, light a light for me
Bring me back home again

[Verse 3]
And how we loved, 'til the years were days
How we laughed all our tears away
And now the time begins to fade
Lover, am I coming home again

[Verse 4]
There's a wisdom in the teachings of the old familiar songs
And a sorrow in repeating all the old familiar wrongs
And a lesson to be learned, though I've known all along
Lover, am I coming home again
[Chorus]
Light a light, light a light for me
Light a light, light a light for me
Light a light, light a light for me
Bring me back home again
Bring me back home again
