Go farther, knowing where the light is.
English sparse-folk direction · fingerpicked guitar and a final held fiddle
Oversized shoes, a thin coat and counted fence posts lead to a lit doorway. The bridge imagines travelling farther while carrying that window along. Attachment need not prevent leaving, and the narrator is not automatically the creator as a child.
The 72 BPM folk direction pairs a close conversational voice with fingerpicked steel-string guitar, adding one held fiddle note only at the final chorus. The sparse setting leaves the kettle, doorway and coat visible in the words. Hear the small final string addition widen a familiar light.

[Verse]
The bus comes at seven, the hill is still grey
I count all the fence posts the whole of the way
My shoes are too big and my coat is too thin
But there's always a light when I'm coming back in
[Chorus]
Leave the light on, leave the light on
I can find the whole world if the light is still on
Leave the light on, leave the light on
I'm never really lost with the light left on
[Verse]
The dog knows my footsteps before I'm in view
He waits at the gatepost, he's older than you
The kettle, the doorway, the coat on the chair
And the small yellow window that says someone's there
[Chorus]
Leave the light on, leave the light on
I can find the whole world if the light is still on
Leave the light on, leave the light on
I'm never really lost with the light left on
[Bridge]
Someday I'll go further than the end of this road
And I'll carry that window wherever I go
[Chorus]
Leave the light on, leave the light on
I can find the whole world if the light is still on
Leave the light on, leave the light on
I'm never really lost with the light left on
