[Verse 1: Rob Cantor]
We ought to leave a light on, leave a light on
Underneath the moon
Sitting in the sight of every eye
I believe in you

[Pre-Chorus: Rob Cantor]
Open your window, look out and see me
Slow I am coming a long way to be

[Verse 2: Nellie McKay]
An accidental light on
Such as I am, by the lonely sun
Ever is the light on, is the light on
Ever meant to run

[Pre-Chorus: Nellie McKay]
Cold but I'm outside and waiting to see
Blowing the snow coming closer to me

[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black, and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine
[Verse 3: Nellie McKay]
Better when the light comes in the night-time
Opening the door
Hoping to be right, it's open every night
So whatcha waiting for?

[Pre-Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Open your window look out and see me
Slow I am coming a long way to be

[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine

[Bridge: Rob Cantor]
Something is real
Maybe not
Something is gone
Something is here
Only thought
All that you want
Everything else will follow

[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine
