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 would 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?

What I wouldn’t give if, for just one night

I could shine so you’d see me

What I wouldn’t give if, for just one night

I could shine so you’d see me
