Jenny, Leave A Light On For Me

Your loneliness it played upon my mind,
I can’t seem to get anything done,
I tried to make you happy and treat you kind,
The tools are broke and I’m longing for the sun.
A mission she’d been plotting now for weeks,
Jenny packed her bags and set off in the rain,
The weather and the tears upon her cheeks,
Had to make the seven-thirty train.
You didn’t have to deceive,
I knew inside you needed to leave.
Jenny, leave a light on for me,
It’s getting dark and I find it hard to see,
When I get home, it’s late,
But I get there at any rate,
No face in the window, nobody in the chair,
I turn to speak but no one’s standing there.
If only I knew
Why you always looked so blue.
Jenny, the moon gets lonely too,
And the moon is not half as beautiful as you.
You know I couldn’t give you all my time,
But I could’ve tried harder now I know,
And you were always in this heart of mine,
But I took you for granted and let you go.
I could never understand it when you said,
That you were always left feeling so alone,
It didn’t register in my head,
How you could be with me yet still be on your own.
And now I wished you’d come and talked to me,
If I couldn’t mend it I would have set you free.
Jenny, leave a light on for me,
It’s getting dark and I find it hard to see,
When I get home, it’s late,
But I get there at any rate,
No face in the window, nobody in the chair,
I turn to speak but no one’s standing there.
If only I knew
Why you always looked so blue.
Jenny, the moon gets lonely too,
And the moon is not half as beautiful as you.
The tools are broke and I’m longing for the sun,
The tools I need to mend that broken heart,
And how the hell can I now get things done,
When you and I are a long train ride apart?
Now I know I never lent you an ear,
And listened to the things you had to say,
But I’d walk to the moon and back to hear
You whisper to me that you mean to stay.
I never saw a tear upon your face,
Perhaps I never looked close enough…
Jenny, leave a light on for me,
It’s getting dark and I find it hard to see,
When I get home, it’s late,
But I get there at any rate,
No face in the window, nobody in the chair,
I turn to speak but no one’s standing there.
If only I knew
Why you always looked so blue.
Jenny, the moon gets lonely too,
And the moon is not half as beautiful as you.
Jenny, must I beg you to stay?
I just can’t find the right words to say.
I’m going out my mind,
Didn’t I always treat you kind?
No open arms to welcome me home.
It hurts like hell to spend each night alone.
Why didn’t you tell
That I made your life a living hell?
Jenny, you know I get lonely too,
Jenny, what did I do to you?
