I was in a hurry when the lights went dim The sound like water being in walls and front door jams We carried all we loved to the upper floor I left one on empty waiting for your voice I'm certain that it's true You know I'd hate to think that my lover never made it through You could smell the silence all around for 20 miles Locked up in our attic all those christmas lights We all wonder why no one came at all It was awful dark but i saw what i saw I'm certain thats its true I wish you were with me when we broke out through our roof I was in a hurry when the lights went dim I was in a hurry when the lights went dim Who was in a hurry when the lights went dim Who was in a hurry when the lights went dim
