Lyrics for Light a Light

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