Lights Out ringtone on your mobile phone

light the candle, burning slowly

he is coming home

like the knight with wasted glory

he left town alone


she's waiting for him

she's had it up to here

as she stares out the window

you make out a sigh

a tear rolls down her cheek

she's in defeat


lights on and lights out

in her lonely penthouse

so many hurting words

why did you stay with him?

he always wanted to leave you


he's boarding a train

he's happier this way

as he stares out the window

you make out a smile

he's crossing county lines

and thinking everything will be just fine


lights on in the house

she's waiting for him

lights out in the house
