There's a street in the town where I grew up There's a house on the corner falling down And they said it's the place where the old man died And the lights went out forever And the lights went out forever Well, I was only a child, but I had to see What the children around couldn't know So I crept through the doorway and into the dark Where the lights were out forever Where the lights were out forever And the man that I met was sat in a chair And he told me about his wife How the day that she died, well, his life came to an end At that moment, we both cried Well, I left there a wiser and older child And I wondered what I had done But the burden was passed and the grief was shared And the next day he was gone And the next day he was gone
