Porch Light

In my dreams

You laugh at me

And you're somebody's baby

He's probably someone who listens

Your hair is soft and light

And you smell so good

So much better than me

I think I'll leave the

Porch light on for you

In my dreams

You laugh at me

I'm not a quitter

I'll tie the loose ends

Something you'd ask me for

I'll cry when it's over

Blame it on something

To do with the stars

I'll look up and

Curse the moon

And wonder

Who's laying with you

Quarter century is feeling old

I'm brave to admit it

I hate the commitment of aging

If I marry, have 3 kids

Will you say you're proud

Get drunk at the wedding

And make me leave the

Porch light on for you

The porch light on

For you

Oh, I'm not a quitter

I'll tie the loose ends

Something you'd ask me for

I'll cry when it's over

Blame it on something

To do with the stars

I'll look up and

Curse the moon

And wonder

Who's talking to you

In my dreams you laugh at me

Now I bite my tongue

Hold my breath
