Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes - Light Don't Shine lyrics

(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 Blue Midnight Music ASCAP
