Paroles de When the crowds are gone

I don't know where the years have gone
Memories can only last so long
Like faded photographs
Forgotten songs

And the things i never knew
When the skin is thin
The heart shows through
Please believe me what i tell you is true

Where's the lights? turn 'em on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem, a memory to carry on
The story's over when the crowds have gone

All my friends have been crucified
Made life a long suicide true
Guess we never
Figured out the rules

But i'm still alive, my fingers feel
Gonna play on
Till the final reel's through
And read the credits from a different view

Where's the lights? turn 'em on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem, a memory to carry on
The story's over when the crowds have gone
When the crowds are gone

When the crowds are gone and i'm all alone
Playin' the saddest song
Now that the lights are gone, turn them on again
One more time for me my friend, turn 'em on again

I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time, till time wasted me
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
'cause the person i am are the parts that i play

So i plot and i plan, hope and i scheme
To the lure of a night, filled with unfinished dreams
I'm holding on tight, to a world gone astray
As they charge me for years, i can no longer pay, oh
When the crowds are gone

Turn 'em on again, turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again, turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again, turn 'em on again

I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time, till time wasted me
I never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
'cause the person i am, are the parts i play
I play, i play

And the lights, turn then off my friend
And the ghosts, we'll just let them in
'cause in the dark, it's easier to see
