She'll be writing a sad sad song
To let this pain just stay too long
And she'll be a firefight, forest king
This heart of blood left in the ring

Give me a needle like you're passin' through
I'll take that chance girl how 'bout you
And she'll meet a lover who when all seems lost
Makes love to his grieve careless of the cost

Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on

She'll be a father with a broken son
As face like stone cold has a gun there
There was a soldier topped by crumbling walls
Or wind and rain just drowned his cause

I, I know it's hard it's so hard to tell
My hands don't match my water well
Like walking listless down darkened streets
I hear the drum I just can't keep the beat

Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on

It's been a while since I've been on trial
For the course my life has run
I haven't heard any words
That forgive the things which I've done, yeah

So set a course for the north
I'll be waiting for words to come, now
Just come away, come away, come away
Come away, away, come away my son

Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on

Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
