lyrics

I was a girl with a book in a crowded bar, sitting alone
I couldn't bear one more night with a book in my big empty home
Two glasses in, and I'm sharing a laugh with a friend of a friend of a friend
I catch the eye of a stranger who's ready to drink himself into the end
Why do I fall when a sensible woman would push his advances away?
I see goodness and kindness in his eyes,
They light up the room
When he talks of his boy.
I ask what he's like,
I hear him say:

"He is the Light in the Dark
He is my sun and my stars
He is the reason I live out my days
And he is the reason we can't go back to my place."

My man at home will be happy to know I went out and had fun.
He knows that working a room is much easier said than is done.
It's nights such as this, when he's out on the road and I'm out running all over town,
I think of him toiling away and I know in my heart I'm just bringing him down.
Why does he like me and why does he stay?
What good could I possibly be?
He sees goodness and kindness when I can't,
And now in the twilight,
in this tangle of limbs,
It dawns on me:

He is the Light in the Dark
He is my sun and my stars
He is the reason I live out my days,

And you're just a number I wrote on a napkin
You're just attention that went to my head.
Who are you really?
How did you win me?
Why did you take me,
Only to leave me
Lying in nakedness, watching you walk out the door, wanting more,
With a mess on my desk and my legs and my breasts and my neck and my face and the floor?
My man at home won't be happy.

I was content in the dark
You were a poorly timed spark
I had a reason to live out my days
Til one little light in the dark turned my future to gray.
