The Lights Are Going Out
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.
There's a painting on the
wall
That wasn't there at all
Ten minutes ago
There's a girl who walks
the line
She's with you all the
time
She won't let go
And I can't see me with
another girl
As everything slows down
across the world
The lights are going out
One by one
across the world
With faces turning sown
The night will hide the
sound
She comes to you
And I can't see me with
another girl
As everything slows down
across the world
In a harbor safe from
storm
She waits for darkened
forms
She's seen you there
And time and time again
You hear her call your
name
She calls for you
And I can't see me with
another girl
As everything slows down
across the world
The lights are gong out
One by one
across the world
The lights are going out
One by one
