[Verse 1] Tell me how to save my soul again If I make a promise, can I still pretend To wash it all away 'til the river is empty? No one ever tells you how still life can be [Chorus] We're alone when the lights come on We're alone when the lights come on [Verse 2] Try it again to see this through Never can remember what I have to do So I found some time to make this right Trying not to dwell upon the lonely nights [Chorus] We're alone when the lights come on Take me down to the river We're alone when the lights come on We're alone when the lights come on Take me down to the river We're alone when the lights come on [Chorus] We're alone We're alone when the lights come on Take me down to the river We're alone when the lights come on [Verse 3] Tell me how to save my soul again If I tell a lie, can I still pretend To wash it all away 'til the river is empty? No one ever tells you how real life can be [Chorus] We're alone when the lights come on Take me down to the river We're alone when the lights come on We're alone when the lights come on Take me down to the river We're alone when the lights come on
