Woke up Tuesday morning   staring at the ceiling   hoping for deliverance   from the distances in you.   this room feels like an oven   somewhere south of nowhere   north of nothing   barely out of Tuesday   seen seven hours of Wednesday   And I guess I got regrets      maybe you could leave a light on   leave a light on for me   can you see her waiting   there down by the sea   with a hat on,   with her eyes in there looking for me.      if you see me coming home turn me away   everybody tries to go back somewhere someday   Wont you give me the distance   52 weeks later, your still the same   I'm standing im my basement   making my arrangements   waiting for the telephone   to ring   to ring   to ring      So I left for Minnesota   where the weather is getting colder   people are changing   maybe you could leave a light on   leave a light on for me      can you see her   waiting there down by the sea   & how arrangements made there for welcoming me?   if you see me coming home turn me away   everybody tries to go back somewhere someday   And for all this distance   aint going to bring you to me   what's the point of all this patience   its not your nature   you just keep what you need   and you got some pictures of me      woke up Wendsday morning   sometime Wednesday evening   hoping for a piece of   something easy to believe   we live out on the border   of everything and nothing   theres nothing but waking and dreaming   barely out of tuesday   theres no one to receive me   nothing is changing   maybe you could leave a light on   leave a light on for me   can you see her   waiting there down by the sea      there's a light on but there's no body waiting for me.   if you see me coming home turn me away   everybody tries to go back somewhere someday   everybody tries to go back somewhere someday   everybody tries to go back somewhere someday   everybody tries to go back somewhere.........
