Music When The Lights Go Out

Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind

And to lie to you rather than hurt you

Well I’ll confess all of my sins after several large gins

But still I’ll hide from you, hide what’s inside from you

And alarm bells ring when you say

Your heart still sings when you’re with me

Won’t you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music

All the memories of the pubs and the clubs

And the drugs and the tubs we shared together

Will stay with me forever

But all the highs and the lows and the tos and the fros

They left me dizzy oh won’t you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music

I no longer hear the music when the lights go out

Love goes cold in shades of doubt

The strange fate in my mind is all too clear

Music when the lights come on

The girl I thought I knew has gone

And with her my heart has disappeared

And all the memories of the fights and the nights

And the blue lights, all the kites we flew together

I thought they’d fly forever
