The Lights Lyrics

Does it seem to you like everything moves?

Slipping and fading, the memories too

So I'll hold on to you

And this old house we fixed up like new

As a kid I would wave at the trains that went by

Now there's park lights and sand where the tracks used to lie

Some nights I feel old

At least the ore trucks still roll

Someday the lights of this town will all go out

Someday the lights of this town will all go out

But not while I burn mine

Not while I burn mine

I did my drinking in the schoolyard on Saturday nights

Getting geared up for the city and the 205 bus

I will ride it again tonight

And back home once I'm done with the fuss

Someday the lights of this town will all go out

Someday the lights of this town will all go out

But not while I burn mine

Not while I burn mine

The lights of the refinery

Blend into the star sky

We don't have much use for the pole star

With those roof lights to navigate by
