Aoife O’Donovan - Porch Light Lyrics

The darkest night I ever seen
It was the night you came to me
On your knees whispering "I'm sorry"
Keeping time with your heartbeat
I danced along on two left feet
You kissed my cheek and left
Me on a city street

Tell me where'd you go
When you left my home on your bike alone
There was room for me on your handlebars
We could've seen the stars

You wanna live a life of restlessness
Wander round singing the blues
You find solace in the bar-room girls
They've got nothing to lose
You want a little life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
And watch the yellow moon rise

If I were to let you go
How far you'd fall, I'll never know
I'd grab your toes and swing
You like a circus show
Tame the tiger, swallow fire
Tiptoe across the tightrope wire
Out there I hear the choir

Would you help me find another stone to grind
And another man to mind?
Would you recognize that I might be a prize?
I might be a prize

You wanna live a life of restlessness
Wander round singing the blues
You find solace in the bar-room girls
They got nothing to lose
You wanna live a life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
And watch the yellow moon rise

You wanna live a life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
