Well if I had a light that glowed
When through her thoughts I'd pass and go
When she would look down at the phone
Or when she felt very alone
It might brighten up my day
Or signal help from far away
Whichever one, it's safe to say
Whatever price it is I'll pay
Cause if my heart was solid gold
I'd trade it just for growing old
For all those days her gaze to hold
If you can sell it, sir, it's sold
I think she read me better
Than a traveler reads the stars
The last time I heard her speak
There was a tear or two or three
"I cannot give you what you seek"
And then the world fell back asleep
I thought I saw her passing by
But it was dark and late and night
That's when I threw away my light
I threw away my light
They say you can't un-ring the bell
And there's no wish beneath the well
So far it holds, unparalleled
I hope it's just too soon to tell
I left her in the moonlight
Shut my eyes and closed the door
