[Chorus]

Light the light when the load ain't easy, light up, don't fade it

There's much to endure, so much to cast away

How, how, how long can you leave it?

There's a grand highway out here, waiting for you to let go

[Interlude 1]

Look at Sheena Day

She was all that a dame should be

Look at Johnny G., he was old but funny

Ron Eyre was not this way, see he left it too late

'Why don't you come,' I would say

When he came God had changed

[Chorus]

Light the light when the load ain't easy, light up, don't fade it

There's much to endure, so much to cast away

How, how, how long can you leave it?

There's a grand highway out here, waiting for you to let go

[Interlude 2]

Sheena Day's not slim

But can still be a dangerous tease

Johnny G. can't swim, but he still loves the sea

Ron Eyre was not this way, see he's trapped in his fate

'Why don't you change,' I would say

But he can't break his faith

[Chorus]

Light the light when the load ain't easy, light up, don't fade it

There's much to endure, so much to cast away

How, how, how long can you leave it?

There's a grand highway out here, waiting for you to let go
