She Lets the Lightin

The first word I said was light

I was scared and afraid of the dark or

Maybe I just wanted to see the

Woman who turned the light on

Third grade money was free until

Girl in back stole a quarter

Rest of the year she denied it but

She turned a light on

Fourteen I went dancing and

Danced with a friend of a friend

We rubbed our faces together

Her kisses turned a light on

Look around for sensible people

We're looking for someone to trust

Cling to one and then another and

Most of us make our way

Like a rainbow in the dark we

Have to believe someone

We care where someone is going and

We'd like to take her home

All the way across the earth

No one knew you were coming

I pushed my way beside you

Where the light is

I need your medicine

You need to have some fun

I've come to life because

You let the light in and

I still want it all but

I want it with you

We open windows together

Look around for sensible people

We're looking for someone to trust

Cling to one and then another and

Most of us make our way

Like a rainbow in the dark we

Have to believe someone

We care where that someone is going and

We'd like to take her home
