I left the lamplight burning Like a promise in the dark I told myself I wouldn’t wait up But you never leave my heart Every passing car that wanders past Makes me catch my breath Like it might be your footsteps Coming closer up the steps I try to tell myself You won’t come here anymore… Then there’s a midnight knock on my door And my heart don’t doubt it anymore I don’t ask what you came here for When that midnight knock comes calling Like a dream I’ve known before Standing right where you belong I don’t say a word… I just let you in When that midnight knock comes… Your shadow falls like moonlight Through the line beneath the door And suddenly the silence Don’t live here anymore You don’t offer explanations But I see it in your eyes We always find our way back together No matter how we try Every moment spent without you Led me gently to this door… There’s a midnight knock on my door And my heart don’t doubt it anymore I don’t ask what you came here for When that midnight knock comes calling Like a dream I’ve known before Standing right where you belong I don’t say a word… I just let you in When that midnight knock comes… Maybe we’re not meant for daylight Maybe we don’t need the truth If loving you’s a quiet kind of wrong… To me it still feels like proof… So I leave the lamplight low… In case you ever need to know… You can always find your way… back to my heart.
