Tally Hall Light And Night (feat. Nellie Mckay)
ROB:
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:
An accidental light on. Such as I am. Mother's only son.
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.
ROB & NELLIE CHORUS:
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:
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 & NELLIE:
Open your window look out and see me.
Slow I am coming a long way to be.
ROB & NELLIE CHORUS:
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:
Something is real. Maybe not. Something is gone.
Something is here. Only thought. All that you want.
Everything else will follow.
ROB & NELLIE CHORUS:
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.
