Rosebuds, The - When the Lights Went Dim lyrics

rate me

I was in a hurry when the lights went dim.

A sound like water, banging, and front-door jams.

We carried all we loved to the upper floor,

I left one arm empty waiting for your voice.

Well, I'm certain that it's true...

Though I'd hate to think my lover never made it through.

You could smell the silence all around for 20 miles.

Locked up in our attic, old books, Christmas lights.

We all wondered why no one came at all.

It was awful dark, but I saw what I saw...

Well, I'm certain it's true...

I wish you were with me when they broke out through our roof.

I was in a hurry when the lights went dim.

I was in a hurry when the lights went dim.

I was in a hurry when the lights went dim.

I was in a hurry when the lights went dim.
