Could you put your light on please   It's kind of dark tonight   And I feel a little lonely   Yes, I need a little light      Could you put your light on please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down      She moved so well   'Cause she was a dancer   She went sliding through my questions   Gliding 'round the answer      Whatever it was, she knew it was holy   And each time I tried to hold her   Her smile came sad and slowly   She said, "No one knows me"      Could you put your light on please   It's kind of dark tonight   And I feel a little lonely   Yes, I need a little light      Could you put your light on please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down      She had a dream   I had my typewriter   While I was hacking out such a heavy world   She was weaving one much lighter      But I'll never know   Just how much it cost her   But each time I slept beside her something turned and tossed her   And it did till I lost her      Bright times were brighter   Than they'd ever been before, I tell you   Night times were lighter   But they'll never, never be no more      Could you put your light on please   It's kind of dark tonight   And I feel a little lonely   Yes, I need a little light      Could you put your light on please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down      Could you put your light on please   It's kind of dark tonight   And I feel a little lonely   Yes, I need a little light      Could you put your light on please   Let me hear a friendly sound   I could make it through 'til morning   If you could let your light shine down
