Tom Rosenthal Lights Are On Lyrics Lamps shine on a residence, but when it comes to not a soul, they remain unacknowledged. Residencies void of person presence remain unlit. Not a soul to acknowledge the lamp, absence of people's dwelling to enlighten. Vacant homes stay void of illumination, leaving the lamps meaningless. Glow seeks humans, but in absence of people's residence, there's absence of people to illuminate.
