He sits alone in a crowded station

And lights his cigarette

The light flickers slightly

And tells him politely

His life's not at it's best



She weighs him up 'cos his love's taken lightly

And love's her only regret

But love's not a sin in her eyes

And she's asking him why -

"why are you leaving"

"i just can't say"

"why are you leaving"

"he don't know daddy's gonna stay"



Put a little light in her darkest day

So she can see it

Put a little love in her heart on the way

So she can feel it



He walks home with his pride in his pocket

And pulls it out with his change

And his love is something and it just turned into nothing

Now isn't that strange



She holds her head high close to the bright sky

He's got his head in the clouds

But love's not a sin in her eyes

And he's telling her why -

"why are you leaving"

"i just can't say"

"why are you leaving"

"he don't know daddy's gonna stay"



Put a little light in her darkest day

So she can see it

Put a little love in her heart on the way

So she can feel it
