Don’t Leave Me with the Night

Verse 1

Screen door slams, you’re halfway gone

Suitcase packed, porch light on

Crickets singing like they know

This is where I lose you slow

Pre-Chorus

You say it’s done, there’s nothing left

But you ain’t walked away just yet

Chorus

Don’t leave me with the night

And all these memories

Don’t turn off that porch light

And walk away from me

If you’re really gonna go

Girl, don’t make it slow goodbye

Don’t leave me with the night

Verse 2

Your shadow’s dancing on the wall

Like it don’t want to leave at all

That old truck waiting in the drive

Don’t know it’s about to take my life

Pre-Chorus

One more step and you’ll be gone

One more breath and I’ll be alone

Chorus

Don’t leave me with the night

And all these memories

Don’t turn off that porch light

And walk away from me

If you’re really gonna go

Girl, don’t make it slow goodbye

Don’t leave me with the night

Bridge

If there’s a chance you might turn back

Girl, I’ll be right here where you left me at

Break (soft)

Yeah, I’ll be right here…

Final Chorus (Lift)

Don’t leave me with the night

And all these broken dreams

Don’t let this silence

Be the last thing left of me

If you’re really gonna go

Don’t you look back this time

Just don’t leave me with the night

Tag/Outro

Porch light flickers… then it dies

And I’m alone here with the night
