Porch Light |
The river that runs through my hometown |
Used to freeze over in the winter |
We’d go down to the waters edge |
With a jug of red wine |
And the girl I loved most of my life |
She’d take my hand and with a smile |
We’d walk across the water to pass the time |
Her mother would pray |
With the porch light on so she could find her way |
She said «If you don’t believe than how can you make it through, if |
There’s nothing but lies then how will my children learn to tell the truth |
If you don’t believe darling what can you do, cause if nothing really |
Matters, then what’s the use» |
About 5 days after I turned 16 she grabbed my face |
And swore to me this town will crush the life from all my dreams |
So she stole the keys to her daddy’s car |
And with fear in her eyes, she begged for my arms |
But no matter what she said, i wasn’t ready to leave |
And her father would wait |
With the porch light on till she could find her way |
And he’d said «If you don’t believe than how can you make it through, if |
There’s nothing but lies then how will your children learn to tell the |
Truth. |
If you don’t believe darling what can you do, cause if nothing |
Really matters, then what’s the use» |
And the place they say I got my eyes |
Is from a broken man who never smiled in pictures |
He wouldn’t know me on the street |
Now you can cross your heart a thousand times |
But most nights I’m left here wondering why I ever loved someone |
Who’s so afraid of me |
I’d sit and I’d wait, for the porch light on till she comes back to me |
And I’d say, «If you don’t believe than how can we make it through, if |
There’s nothing but lies then how will our children learn to tell the |
Truth. |
If you don’t believe darling what can we do, cause if nothing |
Really matters, I said, if nothing really matters, oh love if nothing really |
Matters, then what’s the use?» |
