Light Don't Shine

The streets are dark tonight

The city is quiet now

It's good to be away

Those people they talk too loud

It's too early to go home

This is no time to be alone

Something inside died today

Our last chance just slipped away

The blues this morning came to stay

There's nothing left to say

It's over now, my friend

It's over now, my friend

The child's dream's been swept away

What fools we must have been

For good or worse we've lost forever

What we were before

It's over - the light don't shine no more

They came to shake my hand

I don't want them to touch me now

They said, "Congratulations" but it's too late now

Where were they when I called?

How could they forget it all?

Didn't you get what you need?

The fight was lost, it wasn't meant to be

It isn't as hard for you to leave

There's no easy way for me

It's over now, my friend

It's over now, my friend

The child's dreams been swept away

What fools we must have been

For good or worse we've lost forever

What we were before

It's over, the light don't shine no more

It's over, the light don't shine no more

No more

It just don't shine no more
