Music When the Lights Go Out

Is it cruel or kind

Not to speak my mind

And to lie to you

Rather than hurt you?

Well, I'll confess all of my sins

After several large gins

But still I'll hide from you

Hide what's inside from you

And alarm bells ring

When you say your heart still sings

When you're with me

Oh, won't you please forgive me?

I no longer hear the music

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

And all the memories of the pubs

And the clubs and drugs and the tubs

We shared together

Will stay with me forever

But all the highs and the lows

And the to's and the fro's

They left me dizzy

Oh, won't you please forgive me?

I no longer hear the music

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I no longer hear the music when the lights go out

Love goes cold in the shades of doubt

The strange fate in my mind is all too clear

Music when the lights come on

The girl I thought I knew has gone

With her, my heart, it disappears

Well, I no longer hear the music

Oh, no, no, no

All the memories of the fights and the nights

And the blue lights, all the kites

We flew together

I thought they'd fly forever

But all the highs and the lows

And the to's and the fro's

They left me dizzy

Won't you forgive me?

I no longer hear the music

Well, I no longer hear the music

I no longer hear the music when the lights go out

Love goes cold in the shades of doubt

The strange fate in my mind is all too clear

Music when the lights come on

The girl I thought I knew has gone

With her, my heart, it disappears

I no longer hear the music

Oh, no, no

Well, I no longer hear the music
