#WHEN THE LIGHTS GO LOW – 1960s Soul

Found your coat on the back of my chair
Rain on the window, you’re still not there
Midnight kitchen, kettle on low
I’m learning how to let a good thing grow

Preacher said love is a patient flame
I’m not praying for you to change

When the lights go low, will you stay
Not for the fire, but the embers that remain
I don’t need a promise carved in stone
Just your hand in mine when the world feels alone
When the lights go low, love, stay

You talk in circles when you’re scared to feel
I hear the truth underneath the wheel
Every road you’ve run has led you home
I’m not keeping score, I’m just keeping you warm

If you’re tired
Lay it down
If you’re broken
I’m still around
No choir needed, just a quiet room
Two hearts learning how to bloom

Stay, not because you have to
Stay, because you want to

When the lights go low, will you stay
Not for the thunder, but the calm after rain
I’ve got no answers, just this open door
And a love that’s sure, steady and sure
When the lights go low, love, stay
