Anthony Neff: Music
Porchlight
(from "Generation X-istential Blues")
There's a pulse to the highway
It keeps me rollin'
When I should be home
And there's a chain 'cross our doorway
It keeps me strugglin'
And it keeps you alone
But hold on, Melinda
Leave the porchlight on
My driftin' has ended -
I'm headed for home
Hold on, Melinda
I've been a fool for so long
Hold on...
There's a song in the shadows
It's softly calling
From the belly of night
But there's a strength to that porchglow
It pulls me closer
To the face of the light
So hold on, Melinda
Leave the porchlight on
My driftin' has ended -
I'm headed for home
Hold on, Melinda
I've been a fool for so long
Hold on
The lights were out when I came home
No red carpet,
Just a note on the floor...
Now there's a ghost in our bedroom
It haunts my memory
Like that chain on the door
Come back, Melinda
Turn your love light on
My driftin' has ended -
I'm staying at home
Come back, Melinda
I've been a fool for so long
So long.
