When The Crowds Are Gone Lyrics

I don¹t 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

Where¹s the light, turn then on again

One more night to believe and then

Another note for my requiem

A memory to carry on

The story¹s 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 I¹m still alive and my fingers feel

I¹m gonna play on till the final reel¹s through

And read the credits from a different view

Where¹s the lights, turn them on again

One more night to believe and then

Another note for my requiem

A memory to carry on

The story¹s over when the crowds are gone

When the crowds are gone

And I¹m 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 I¹m 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

It¹s easier to see
