The Lights Go Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One day,i gotta get out of here,
I gotta make everything clear
I gotta see you.
I know,the way that i feel is wrong,so wrong.
But i gotta carry on,when you ain't around.
I believe things are going wrong,
And the night goes on and on,
All your dreams have flown away,
And the sun won't shine today
Chorus
The lights go down,
The lights go down,
The lights go down,and there's no one around.
I know,you're waiting so close to me,
But how will you ever see,as time rolls away,
Lonely,but tryin' to be so proud,
And just as i turn around,the lights go down.
I believe things are going wrong,
And the night goes on and on,
All your dreams have flown away,
And the sun won't shine today
Chorus
