[Verse 1] Porch light on at 3AM Moths round it like they prayin again Mama's chair rockin with nobody there Spanish moss swingin in the dead air [Pre-Chorus] I been talkin to the dark Dark been talkin back Steel drum hummin like a train off track Porch light prayer For the boy that drowned down there Porch light prayer Moss on the bible, dirt in the hair Bone harp clickin, harmonica moan Steel drum ringin, bring my boy home Porch light prayer[Chorus] [Verse 2] Bible on the rail gettin wet with dew Pages all stuck but the words come through Harmonica cry where the cypress weep Bone harp rattle where the gators sleep [Bridge - stripped, condenser vocal + bone harp + harmonicas only, for your take] (whispered, close mic) Porch light... on... For my son... For my sins... For the ones... that never come home... [Chorus - full, steel drums + harmonicas swell] Porch light prayer For the boy that drowned down there Porch light prayer Moss on the bible, dirt in the hair Bone harp clickin, harmonica moan Steel drum ringin, bring my boy home Porch light... prayer... Moths... still there...[Outro - porch creak + cricket + harmonica fade]
