Amanda Fiddler - Streetlamp

There's a streetlamp out the window and I'm watching it tonight
As it casts my things in shadow and I'm waiting for the light
Of suns to rise and stars to fall and morning to break dawn
There's a streetlamp out my window and I'd like it be gone, but not you, but not you
There's a streetlamp on the corner and it shines into my room
As I think through all the former people I've been without you
Right by my side or quite there at all--I don't know which to choose
But there's a streetlamp on the corner that I'd be alright to lose, but not you, but not you
Been living by myself for almost six months now, nearly to the day
And nightly it shines through the glass, just too brightly 'til twilight fades to day
But the bulb it will burn out, the metal will rust now, the skies will turn to blue
And all the things you say you love in me, I swear I've found equally in you
There's a streetlamp on the sidewalk and it's keeping me awake
While I wonder, still in some shock, about the chances still to take
People to see and places to go and things to figure out
There's a streetlamp on the sidewalk, that I'd gladly go without, but not you, but not you
And I know that I have romanticized a bulb that sheds some light
But it's not like I've got something else to do at one at night
Than think of a day when I'm by your side, and this could all be damned
'Cause there's a streetlight on the corner where I'd like to hold your hand, but I can't, but I can't
Been living by myself for almost six months now, nearly to the day
And nightly it shines through the glass, just too brightly 'til twilight fades to day
But the bulb it will burn out, the metal will rust now, the skies will turn to blue
And all the things you say you love in me, I swear I've found equally in you
There's a streetlamp out the window and I'm watching it tonight
As it casts my things in shadow and I'm waiting for the light
Of suns to rise and stars to fall and morning to break dawn
There's a streetlamp out my window and I'd like it be gone, but not you, but not you
