Odell Fairchild - Don't Leave the Light On (Lyric Video)

Switch it off. I'm here. From the album Last Pour, First Prayer by Odell Fairchild, track 3 of 12. 1970s Southern soul and country soul. Lyrics: I know what it costs you to wait by the glass Watchin' the driveway, lettin' the hours pass I ain't worth the current, I ain't worth the worry But turn it off, darlin', and don't leave in a hurry Don't leave the light on, come to bed The night can mind itself instead I don't need a beacon, I need you near The small lamp of your breath by my ear If you're stayin', stay in the dark with me Don't leave the light on. Leave the light be. I been the man who comes home too late With a story too thin and a shirt in a state You never locked it. That's the part that stings. A mercy like that puts a weight on things. Don't leave the light on, come to bed I need you near instead Stay in the dark with me Tomorrow I'll be earlier. That's a prayer, not a plan. Tonight I'm just askin' you to trust this man Enough to sleep. Enough to let the porch go black. I'll be the one who knows the way back. Switch it off. I'm here.
