Aoife O'Donovan
Porch Light
[Verse 1]
The darkest night I ever seen
It was the night you came to me
On your knees whispering "I'm sorry"
Keeping time with your heartbeat
I danced along on two left feet
You kissed my cheek
And left me on a city street

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where'd you go
When you left my home on the bike alone
There was room for me on your handlebars
We could've seen the stars

[Chorus]
You wanna live a life of restlessness
Wander 'round singing the blues
You find solace in the bar-room girls
They got nothing to lose
You want a little life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
And watch the yellow moon rise

[Verse 2]
If I were to let you go
How far you'd fall I'll never know
I'd grab your toes and swing you like a circus show
Tame the tiger, swallow fire
Tip-toe 'cross the tightrope wire
Out there [?]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Would you help me find another stone to grind
And another man to mind
Would you recognize that I might be a prize
I might be a prize

[Chorus]
You wanna live a life of restlessness
Wander 'round singing the blues
You find solace in the bar room girls
They got nothing to lose
You wanna live a life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
And watch the yellow moon rise

[Outro]
You wanna live a life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
