Light on the Gravel

Lyrics

The engine settles into sleep The fields are dark and still I bring a week of city noise Across this little hill Your kitchen window paints a square Across the gravel drive I didn't know how tired I was Until I saw that light Leave a light on the gravel Leave a chair by the door I don't need an answer I don't need much more Leave a light on the gravel Let the old screen swing I will set my heavy day down Like it never weighed a thing I heard your tires before the bell And put the kettle on You don't have to tell me yet What made the week so long There is a towel beside the sink A quiet place to land Some days the best that we can do Is reach for someone's hand Tomorrow has its own rough edges Tonight can be a softer place The road will wait until the morning Put the heavy things away Leave a light on the gravel Leave a chair by the door I don't need an answer I don't need much more Leave a light on the gravel Let the old screen swing I will set my heavy day down Like it never weighed a thing
