(S. Van Zandt)



The streets are dark tonight 

The city is quiet now 

It's good to be away 

Those people they talk too loud 

It's too early to go home 

This is no time to be alone



Something inside died today 

Our last chance just slipped away 

The blues this morning came to stay 

There's nothing left to say 



It's over now, my friend 

It's over now, my friend 

The child's dream's been swept away 

What fools we must have been 

For good or worse we've lost forever 

What we were before 

It's over - the light don't shine no more 



They came to shake my hand 

I don't want them to touch me now 

They said, "Congratulations" but it's too late now 

Where were they when I called?

How could they forget it all?



Didn't you get what you need?

The fight was lost, it wasn't meant to be 

It isn't as hard for you to leave 

There's no easy way for me 



It's over now, my friend 

It's over now, my friend 

The child's dreams been swept away 

What fools we must have been 

For good or worse we've lost forever 

What we were before 

It's over, the light don't shine no more

It's over, the light don't shine no more

No more

It just don't shine no more
