After the lights go out lyrics

As the sun goes down

My silent little room is growing dim

And the man next door

Is saying what a lousy day it's been

And the clock on th wall

I'd like to put its ticking to an end

In the room below

The girl is crying for her guy again

After the lights go out

What will I do?

After the lights go out

Facing the night without you

There's a pidgeon that's

Been sittin' on my window-sill all day

I guess he's lonely too

I wonder if his love has flown away

When I get upon my feet

I need a cup of coffee anyway

Someone called for you

But I hung up the 'phone - what could I say?

After the lights go out

What will I do?

After the lights go out

Facing the night without you

I don't look for her

I find her in the shadow of my mind

For she's just a girl

Who's memory will be wiped away with time

Any second now

The lamp down the street will show its light

And I just can't seem

To tear away her kisses from the night

After the lights go out

What will I do?

After the lights go out

Facing the night without you

Facing the night without you

Facing the night without you

Facing the night without you

Facing the night without you...
