Solomon Burke - Keep a Light in the Window Till I Come Home Lyrics

It was just the other day
These are the words a soldier sang
He said, tell my babe
To keep a light in the window
Til I come home, til I come home

Well, I don't know
How long or how soon
Maybe tomorrow, it may be never
Or maybe this afternoon

Somebody tell my baby
To please keep a light, keep a light
Keep a light in the window
Til I come home, home

You see I been gone
So long, so long
But there's nothing that will
Ever change the way I feel
I'm just asking you to hold on, baby
Please hold on, listen

I'm risking my life every day
To end this fight
Deep down inside my soul right now
I believe I know, I said
I know this cause is right

I just want you, baby
Please keep a light
Keep a light burning
In the window til I
Til I, til I, til I
Come on home again
