10 Things Left Behind S1E 4: “Someone Left The Light On”

[INTRO] [Low synth drone, distant thunder] [VERSE 1] Every night at eleven One window starts to glow In a house nobody lives in On a street nobody knows Number seventeen With ivy climbing up the wall I asked the man next door He said, “Don’t ask at all” [PRE-CHORUS] But curiosity is dangerous When darkness knows your name So I crossed the empty garden And stepped into the rain [CHORUS] Someone left the light on In a house that’s been alone Someone wants somebody To know they’re not gone There’s a photograph on the staircase And a red umbrella by the door A blue mailbox full of letters That nobody sent before Someone left the light on And I think it’s meant for me [VERSE 2] The clock above the fireplace Was frozen at 11:17 I heard a radio whisper Though the room was empty A woman’s voice said softly “Don’t miss the final train” Then every light went dark And someone called my name [BRIDGE] I turned around There was nobody there Only a yellow coat Hanging on the chair [FINAL CHORUS] Someone left the light on Now I know I’m not alone Somebody has been waiting For someone to come home The photograph was different When I looked at it again One face had reappeared And I knew that face was mine [OUTRO] [Power hum cuts off] 17.
