Lyrics
I just stepped off the train
I have just arrived, possibly from a journey.
Dodging the evening rain
Avoiding the rain in the evening.
These days just ain't the same without you, lady
Expressing that the days feel incomplete or different without the presence of a significant other (referred to as "lady").
Right now my feet are wet
My feet are wet, possibly indicating vulnerability or discomfort.
And they don't know the steps
Suggesting a lack of familiarity with the current situation or regret about leaving.
Or maybe they regret me leaving, lady
Speculating that the feet regret leaving, implying hesitation or second thoughts.
You're my passport home
The person being addressed is like a "passport home," a source of comfort and familiarity.
My guiding light
Describing the person as a guiding light, providing direction or clarity.
My hand to hold
Expressing the importance of the person as someone to lean on.
Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home
Reiterating that the person is like a "passport home."
Without you close I can't go on
Feeling unable to continue without the person being physically close.
So, darling, keep the light on
Asking the person to keep a light on, metaphorically or literally, to signify waiting or being there.
Keep the light on
Repeating the plea for the light to be kept on.
Keep the light on
-Keep the light on
-I step back on the stage
Returning to the stage, possibly a performer's life, after being away.
The people call my name
Receiving recognition from the audience.
These crowds just ain't the same without you, lady
Feeling a void in the applause without the person being addressed.
And though they sing along I'd rather hear your song again, again
Expressing a preference for the person's song over the audience's cheers.
Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home
Reiteration of the person being a "passport home" and essential for support.
My guiding light
-My hand to hold
-Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home
-Without you close I can't go on
Stating the inability to move forward without the person being close.
You're the only one who knows every weakness I've exposed
Acknowledging the depth of intimacy by sharing weaknesses.
And I can't believe you chose to see this through
Expressing disbelief at the person's commitment to the relationship.
You're the picture in my heart and I loved you from the start
Describing the person as a cherished image in the heart, loved from the beginning.
That's the reason I keep coming back to you
Explaining that the deep connection is the reason for returning.
So, darling, keep the light on
Repetition of the request for the light to be kept on, emphasizing the longing to return home.
Keep the light on
-Keep the light on
-Keep the light on
-Keep the light on
-Keep the light on
-Keep the light on
-Keep the light on
-You're my passport home
Final affirmation that the person is the "passport home."
Without you close I can't go on
Reiterating the inability to continue without the person being close.
