John D Howard - And Then the Lights Went Out (Demo) Lyrics

And then the lights went out
And years of thoughts were done
Memories of feelings and places and faces
Sprayed through the air like shot from a gun

And when the lights went out
Were there people there to know?
A tree fell when no one was around
As it dropped out the sky did it make a sound?

Never went anywhere, never did anything
Or maybe went somewhere and maybe did something
Tried to live, or just to survive
Can you make a living out of just staying alive?

And who made the lights go out?
And why did they get to say?
And why did it happen to be on that night?
Who waved their arms and said "let there be no light"?

And though the lights have gone out
And everyone's now turned away
We burn our candles for a score of lost flames
But nothing will change now no matter what we say
