Light and Night by Tally Hall Lyrics
[Rob Cantor]
We ought to leave a light on, leave a light on, underneath the moon
Sitting in the sight of every eye
I believe in you
Open your window, look out and see me
Slow I am coming a long way to be
[Nellie McKay]
An accidental light on
Such as I am, by the lonely sun
Ever is the light on, is the light on
Ever meant to run
Cold but I'm outside and waiting to see
Blowing the snow coming closer to me
[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black, and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine
[Nellie McKay]
Better when the light comes in the night-time opening the door
Hoping to be right, it's open every night. So whatcha waiting for?
[Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Open your window look out and see me
Slow I am coming a long way to be
[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light. I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine
[Rob Cantor]
Something is real. Maybe not. Something is gone. Something is here. Only thought. All that you want. Everything else will follow
[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light. I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine
We ought to leave a light on, leave a light on, underneath the moon
Sitting in the sight of every eye
I believe in you
Open your window, look out and see me
Slow I am coming a long way to be
[Nellie McKay]
An accidental light on
Such as I am, by the lonely sun
Ever is the light on, is the light on
Ever meant to run
Cold but I'm outside and waiting to see
Blowing the snow coming closer to me
[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black, and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine
[Nellie McKay]
Better when the light comes in the night-time opening the door
Hoping to be right, it's open every night. So whatcha waiting for?
[Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Open your window look out and see me
Slow I am coming a long way to be
[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light. I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine
[Rob Cantor]
Something is real. Maybe not. Something is gone. Something is here. Only thought. All that you want. Everything else will follow
[Chorus: Rob Cantor & Nellie McKay]
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light. I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine
