Lyrics
(Am)In the dark (G)ness
be fore the (F)dawn.
(Am)In the swirl (G)ing
of the (F)storm.
When I’m (Am)roll ing with the punch (G)es
and hope is gone.
Leave a light,
a light (F)on.
Leave a light,
a light (F)on.
(Am7)Ooh,
ah.
(Am)Ooh,
(F)ah.
(F)Leave a (G)light on,
a light (F)on.
Leave a (G)light on,
a (Em)light (F)on.
