Wim Janssens - The Night The Lights Went Out Lyrics

It was June when she took her last breath
And August when the lights went out
If you've ever lost a loved one,
You know what I'm talking about
I was caught up in a dream
When the power quit.
It took a couple of hours
To know how far that blackout hit
So I stood there on the corner
Feeling like I needed to roam
I had no idea where I was heading
Except that I wasn't heading home.
From New York to Ohio, no electricity
And as vain as it sounds, I'm sure it was a gift for me.

On The night the lights went out
On The night the lights went out
On The night the lights went out
On The night the lights went out

The city was inverted
Streets were deserted
Cars were held up
Trains were shut down
People were trapped in elevators
They kept on breathing thanks to generators
They were lining up to use a payphone
Suddenly I didn't feel so all alone
On the night the lights went out
If you've ever lost somebody
You'll know just what I mean
When I let myself imagine
She created the whole nutty scene
From New York to Ohio, no electricity
As vain as it sounds, I'm sure it was a gift for me.

On The night the lights went out
On The night the lights went out
On The night the lights went out
On The night the lights went out

It started in Ohio and
And that would have been just like her
To put the lights out on millions
So I could find my way
My way out of a marriage
And the life I wasn't meant to lead
A reminder that true love's rage
Could overcome any need
And if you think it's crazy,
Well I don't have any doubts
'cause nothing was ever the same
After the night the lights went out.

After the night the lights went out.
After the night the lights went out.
After the night the lights went out.
After the night the lights went out.
After the night the lights went out.
After the night the lights went out.
