The Night The Lights Went Out Lyrics

It was June when she took her last breath

And August when the lights went out

If you've ever lost a loved one,

You know what I'm talking about

I was caught up in a dream

When the power quit.

It took a couple of hours

To know how far that blackout hit

So I stood there on the corner

Feeling like I needed to roam

I had no idea where I was heading

Except that I wasn't heading home.

From New York to Ohio, no electricity

And as vain as it sounds, I'm sure it was a gift for me.

On The night the lights went out

On The night the lights went out

On The night the lights went out

On The night the lights went out

The city was inverted

Streets were deserted

Cars were held up

Trains were shut down

People were trapped in elevators

They kept on breathing thanks to generators

They were lining up to use a payphone

Suddenly I didn't feel so all alone

On the night the lights went out

If you've ever lost somebody

You'll know just what I mean

When I let myself imagine

She created the whole nutty scene

From New York to Ohio, no electricity

As vain as it sounds, I'm sure it was a gift for me.

On The night the lights went out

On The night the lights went out

On The night the lights went out

On The night the lights went out

It started in Ohio and

And that would have been just like her

To put the lights out on millions

So I could find my way

My way out of a marriage

And the life I wasn't meant to lead

A reminder that true love's rage

Could overcome any need

And if you think it's crazy,

Well I don't have any doubts

'cause nothing was ever the same

After the night the lights went out.

After the night the lights went out.

After the night the lights went out.

After the night the lights went out.

After the night the lights went out.

After the night the lights went out.

After the night the lights went out.
