For our stranded astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.

We’ll keep a light for you
Virginia rings at night for you
New York is shining bright for you
And we’ll keep a light for you

Beneath your speeding star
Been a strange old year so far
Are dolphins thinking less of who we are?
We’re billions all alone inside our car
Still keeping a light for you

A woman on the telephone
Wondered if you miss your home
I don’t know why she wouldn’t know
Over in LA I’m missing Glasgow

And we’ll keep a light on your door
I’ve been working on your song a little more
Josie says hello
Now we’re going to the store
It’s time to go, and one thing more
We’ll keep a light on your door

We'll Keep a Light

 The Philippines, 1941. Rose Williams arrives in Manila on her first assignment as a US Army nurse, enthralled by the new environment and its promise of adventure. Although worlds away from the land she grew up in, Rose feels connected to her father, who worked in the Philippines before he died.

War seems like a distant possibility as Rose takes midnight dips in a warm sea with the other nurses, explores secret corners of the island, and falls in love with a locally stationed US Army officer.

But when Japan bombs Manila, the nurses’ lives change. Torn away from the man she loves, Rose faces constant threat, not only to her life, but from those around her she thought she could trust…

Will Rose and those close to her survive in the turmoil of war?
