Take me back to that old, dark room
Where we learned all those moves
And the hunger never died
You wait a life for one small chance
To show yourself you were never meant to hide
But never desperate for the light

You store a part of what's on your mind
But keep back what's deep inside

Mother Mary, where have you been?
I felt an emptiness deep down inside of me
It's who I am and what I've become
An empty vessel that sings a few songs
But for me, will you leave a light on?

What is it that I'm still holding on for?
I can't stop the signals now
With so many signs that are floating 'round
I forgot to leave the ride

Stand up straight and stand up tall
Show them that they're all wrong, oh

Mother Mary, where have you been?
I felt an emptiness deep down inside of me
Baby blue, I know you've seen
All these things through my eyes
But do you see
Just who I am and what I've become?
This empty vessel that sings a few songs
But for me
Yeah, for me
But for me
Will you leave your light on?

Please leave a light on
Please leave a light on
For me always
Until we're gone
Please leave a light on
Please leave a light on
For me always
Until we're gone
