After The Lights Go Out
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 the wall, I d like to put its ticking to an end
In the room below the girl is crying for her guy again
Chorus:
After the lights go out, what will I do?
After the lights go out, facing the night without you
There s a pigeon 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?
Chorus
I don t look for her, I find her in the shadow of my mind
For she s just a girl whose 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
Chorus +:
Facing the night without you...
