Porch Light Songtext
von Robert Cray

Midnight, and her porch light′s on
The signal that her man is gone
She'll open her back door wide
I slip down the alley and slip inside
She′s waiting just inside the door
In perfume, probably nothing more
She'll greet me with her arms spread wide
Hit by the darkness, we'll fly, fly, fly
Standing here, feel just like a criminal
Returning to the scene of the crime
Every time that we steal these loving hours
We promise it will be the last time
Sneak out just before the dawn


Knowing that we′ve done her man wrong
He′s out working while we're at play
And my conscience hounds me the whole long day
Sundown, my blood starts to stir
All my thoughts go back to her
At midnight, my guilt will ease
And I′ll be watching her porch light
Begging "Baby, please, please, please"
Standing here, feel just like a criminal
Returning to the scene of the crime, yeah, yeah, yeah
And every time that we steal these loving hours
When we're stealing, when we′re stealing it
We promise it will be the last time, yeah
