Ghost Light
Sara Bareilles
What if I leave the light on
So the dark has a friend?
If the ghost light is burning
We’ll invite something in
Let the dark free her secrets
That she keeps swallowing
Let her borrow my voice now
What if darkness could sing?
What would the dark say if she could?
What I wouldn’t give
If for just one night
I could shine so you’d see me
But all I’ve ever been
Is the absence of the light
I don’t shine
No one sees me
So won’t you, you, you?
Won’t you, you, you?
Won’t you, you, you?
Won’t you, you, you?
What if I leave the light on
So the darkness could speak
If the veil could be lifted
What if shadows were seen
Could they offer their wisdom?
Would they feel some relief?
Let them borrow my voice now
What if shadows could speak?
What I wouldn’t give
If for just one night
I could shine so you’d see me
But all I’ve ever been
Is the absence of the light
I don’t shine
No one sees me
So won’t you, you, you?
Won’t you, you, you?
