When The Lights Go Down Lyrics - Singles - Edie Brickell

Benny lost his faith in a gambling spree 

Had to leave this place get away from me 

Oh we'll meet again maybe introduced as friends 

He'll come around in a while 

But it's so hard to see when the lights go down 

And it's hard to believe when the lights go down 

And you shake in your shoes sitting next to the blues 

'Cause you don't wanna loose what you've found 

Benny wants to run but he stands his ground 

Sick of those big boys pushing him around 

Oh here comes a crowd they don't care what it's about 

Somebody's son's going down 

And it's so hard to see when the lights go down 

And it's hard to believe when the lights go down 

All the animals know when the fire is low 

'Cause the wind starts to blow on the ground 

Went away on a Sunday 

Had a glass of wine on Monday 

All by yourself in your room 

And it's hard to believe when the lights go down 

And it's so hard to see when the lights go down 

And you shake in your shoes sitting next to the blues 

'Cause you don't wanna loose what you've found 

And it's hard and it's hard to believe 

And it's hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, to see 

When the lights go, when the lights go 

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down 

Oh 

No 

No 

No 

...
