lyrics

YR LIGHT IS ON

yr light is on
yr still up
i look out my window
top of the hill
it's christmas
but it ain't sad
smell like trees
some boy been bad
are you awake
are you alone
are you awake
are you alone
like me?

i picture yr face
it's beautiful
lookin at the moon
orchids in the air
what r ya doin in the morning
when ya step outside
will ya think of
me?

if it were possible
i'd call you up
wouldn't say a word
but you'd know me
in yr heart
+ i'd know you
in mine
+ that's enough
+ that's enough
cuz yr light is on
+ so is mine
yr light is on
+ so is mine

a silver star
a scully cap
a can of beer
a sleepy cat
yr light is on
+ so is mine
yr light is on
+ so is mine
