The Whitlams Keep the Light On Lyrics

We stumble into each other's lives and we knock some things over
Try not to make a sound
Each time you reach out, a new shout or shine-on
We run in and fall out, fumble around for the key

I'll always keep the light on for you
You try so hard to be alive
What else can you do, but close your eyes
You can't see the beautiful way when you're burning so bright

Your halfpenny eyes smile like a fire-sale
Everyone's a suspect, the horses won't move up the rail

I'll always keep the light on for you
You try so hard to be alive
What else can you do, but close your eyes
You can't see the beautiful way when you're burning so bright

Your sadness, a thief, waits in the hallway
With mail on the floor and two birds in the chimney

I'll always keep the light on for you
You try so hard to be alive
What else can you do, but close your eyes
You can't see the beautiful way when you're burning so bright

I'll always keep the light on for you
You try so hard to be alive
What else can you do, but close your eyes
You can't see the beautiful way when you're burning so bright
So bright
Burning so bright
