Long as I Can See the Light
Guided by the Candlelight: Journeying Home in the Lyrics' Glow
Lyrics
Put a candle in the window
Desire for guidance and a symbol of hope by placing a candle in the window.
'Cause I feel I've gotta move
Feeling the need to make a change or take action.
Though I'm goin', goin'
While departing or moving away.
I'll be comin' home soon
Assurance of returning home in the near future.
Long as I can see the light
Feeling secure or comfortable as long as there's an indicator of home ("light").
Pack my bag and let's get moving
Preparing to leave and urging movement or progression.
'Cause I'm bound to drift awhile
Expectation of wandering for a period.
Though I'm gone, gone
Acknowledging absence but reassuring about safety or well-being.
You don't have to worry, no
Reassurance to someone left behind that everything is fine.
Long as I can see the light
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining a visual connection to home or familiarity.
Guess I've got that old travelin' bone
Suggesting a perpetual inclination to wander or explore.
'Cause this feeling won't leave me alone
Expressing a persistent sensation of restlessness.
But I won't, I won't
Commitment not to get lost or stray from the intended path.
Be losin' my way, no, no
Reiterating the determination to stay on track.
Long as I can see the light
Continued assurance of feeling secure as long as there's a reference to home ("light").
Yeah
Repetitive exclamations, potentially emphasizing emotions or feelings associated with the situation.
Yeah
-Yeah
-Oh yeah
-Put a candle in the window
Reiteration of the symbolic act of placing a candle for guidance or a connection to home.
'Cause I feel I've gotta move
Repetition of the feeling and necessity to make a change or move.
Though I'm goin', goin'
Similar to line 3, indicating departure or movement.
I'll be comin' home soon
Reiterating the assurance of returning home soon despite departing.
Long as I can see the light
Repeated emphasis on feeling secure and comfortable when there's a reference to home ("light").
Long as I can see the light
-Long as I can see the light
-Long as I can see the light
-Long as I can see the light
