Edie Brickell When The Lights Go Down Lyrics

When The Lights Go Down Lyrics

Benny lost his faith in a gambling spree,

had to leave this place get away
from me.

ohhh ohh 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,

'cos
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,

ohhh
ohh 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,

'cos 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,

'cos you don't wanna loose what you've found.



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

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.

Ohhhhh ohh no no no no no no, no no, no no, noo
noo,

mmmm, 

ohhhh.
