Lights Are on but Nobody's Home song and lyrics by Tom Lights shine on a home, but when it comes to no one, they remain unperceived. Residencies lacking person presence stay dark. Not a soul to acknowledge the light, not a soul's residence to lighten up. Uninhabited dwellings stay empty of light, leaving the lamps without a role. Light seeks individuals, but in absence of people's dwelling, there's nobody to brighten.
