Tenement Light

(album: Ropewalk - 2015)

You're bold, you're bright
Tuck me in tight
Turn me on like a tenement light

You're wrong, you're right
You're false, you're true
You're a knife in the head
And I love you

So keep shining bright all through the night
Shine above my head and aid my sight
Style 'n' flare that no one can compare
You live your life like a flick of that knife
Dressed in black you ran away with the night
And the scene was perfectly so unpolite
Flicker at me like candle-light

I will wait for you
Wait right here waiting for you

You tell me everything that's on your mind
I'll tell you everything is gonna be fine
You tell me everything that's on your mind tonight

You're bold, you're bright
Screw me in tight
I'm your bulb tonight
You be my tenement light

Stand up and stare like my neck hair
Was it a dare or did you just not care
Don't go out in the middle of the night

And I will wait for you
Wait right here for you

You tell me everything that's on your mind
I'll tell you everything is gonna be fine
You tell me everything that's on your mind tonight

So tell me you're happy
Tell me you're sad
Say you're not lonely
I would never love to see you sitting in a lonely chair
Sitting there scared

I will wait for you
Be right here waiting for you

You tell me everything that's on your mind
I'll tell you everything is gonna be fine
You tell me everything that's on your mind tonight
