A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW AGAIN (Melvin Goins)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)
Tom T. Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1:
IT'S A LONG WAY FROM DETROIT TO ROSINE, KENTUCKY
AND NIGHT IS LIKE DAY WHERE THE CITY LIGHTS SHINE
I GUESS IT'S ALRIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE
BUT I'M GOING BACK TO THAT OLD HOME OF MINE

CHORUS:
THERE'LL BE A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW AGAIN
TO WELCOME THE CHILDREN BACK HOME
IT'S DARK AND IT'S EMPTY THERE'S SORROW WITHIN
BUT THERE'LL BE A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW AGAIN

VERSE 2:
WHEN I LEFT KENTUCKY I THOUGHT I WAS SOMETHING
LEAVING THE OLD FRIENDS AND OLD FOLKS ALONE
WHEN I LEFT THE DIRT ROAD AND GOT TO THE HIGHWAY
THE ROAD TURNED TO PAVEMENT MY HEART TURNED TO STONE

VERSE 3:
ONE AT A TIME ALL THE CHILDREN HAVE LEFT HERE
BROTHERS AND SISTERS HAVE ALL MOVED AWAY
DARKNESS HANGS OVER THE OLD FAMILY CHURCHYARD
WHERE MOTHER AND FATHER ARE SLEEPING TODAY

REPEAT CHORUS
