Light Quote by Patrick Watson
““Leave a light on in the wild Cause I'm coming in a little blind Dreamer of a lighthouse in the woods Shining a little light to bring us back home Went to find you in the backyard Hiding behind our busy lives Dreamer of a lighthouse in the woods To help us get back into the world Cause I know I've seen you before Won't you shine a little light on us now? Won't you shine a little light in your own a backyard? Won't you shine a little light in your own backyard? Dreamer of a lighthouse in the woods””
