When the Crowds Are Gone

歌詞

I don't know where the years have gone Memories can only last so long Like faded photographs, forgotten songs And the things I never knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows through Please believe me, what I tell you is true... Where's the light, turn then on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds are gone All my friends have been crucified They made life a long suicide true Guess we never figured out the rules But I'm still alive and my fingers feel I'm gonna play on till the final reel's through And read the credits from a different view Where's the lights, turn them on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds are gone When the crowds are gone And I'm all alone Playing a final song Now that the lights are gone Turn them on again One more time for me my friend Turn them on again I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time till time wasted me Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay Cause the person I am are the parts that I play So I play and I plan And hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams And I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can no longer pay And the lights Turn them off my friend And the ghosts Well just let them in Cause in the dark It's easier to see
