The Porch Left Lit for the Fiddler

Lyrics

There's a fiddle in the evening, down the lane
Playing something slow and soft and a little sad
I leave my porch light on, I don't know why
It's the only kind of hello I've ever had

Play on, play on, I'm listening
From the window with the lamp turned low
Come up the steps if you're lonesome
The porch is lit and the door's not locked
Play on, play on, I'm listening

He never waves, he never says a word
Just rosin and a bow and the cooling air
But last night he played a tune I knew
My mother used to hum it on the stair

Play on, play on, I'm listening
From the window with the lamp turned low
Come up the steps if you're lonesome
The porch is lit and the door's not locked
Play on, play on, I'm listening

Some people talk with words
Some with strings across the fence
I think we're friends already
Though we've never made a sound but this

Play on, play on, I'm listening
From the window with the lamp turned low
Come up the steps if you're lonesome
The porch is lit and the door's not locked
Play on, play on, I'm listening

Play on
I'm listening
