lyrics

Porch Light Swinging

Travelled through the ice and snow
to make it home
Travelled in my winter coat
to make it home

Maybe that's the best that I can do
coming home empty handed
Maybe that's the best that I can do
Coming home late to my front porch

Ohhh, with that porch light swinging

Stockings hung and chimney strung
with all the lights
Candles in the windows look
like fireflies

and it's calling me in
with that porch light swinging

And all that I can see
is my family gathered round the tree;
And all I long to see
is that porch light swinging over me
And all I long to see
are my cousins running round with glee
And all I long to be
is laughing over cups of coffee
And all i long to see
is that snow falling quietly
All I long to see
is my family on Christmas eve
