I’m pacing in front of my window again.

The glass panes are lightly frosted.

The shutters are slightly dusted.

The red curtains are billowing with the draft.

I’ve left a candle in the skylight.

So, why won’t you come back Home?

The snow is gently cascading

Down the roads and hills alike.

Perched onto every roof and tree branch,

Even the empty mailbox is smothered.

I’ve left a candle in the skylight.

So, why won’t you come back Home?

I’m wearing the dress you always loved

The black one with the silver leaves

They’re running down the sleeves

And rimming the collar, just like normal

I’ve left a candle in the skylight.

So, why won’t you come back Home?

The old mare out back is missing you

I can tell the chill is getting to her

She seems like she never will be loved

I see her every morning, together we mourn you

I’ve left a candle in the skylight.

So, why won’t you come back Home?

There’s people in the streets, love

The carolers have such great cheer

But the Season just doesn’t seem the same

My cup is empty, with out you

I’ve left a candle in the skylight.

So, why won’t you come back Home?

I’m waiting for you, night and day

Christmas won’t seem the same without you

Please Dearest, the candle’s still lit

Please come back home to me
