When the lights go out
And the night is cold
And the air is still
And all time is old
And your fingers reach
But there's nothing there
And you'd sell your skin
Just to touch her hair
And you tell yourself
You've done nothing wrong
All things will go
And she's just gone
Well it happened the way
That you dreamed it would
They came for you sleeping
With a leather hood
And they gagged your mouth
And they bound your hands
And they took you down
To the moonlit sands
They couldn't make you beg
They didn't make you cry
But for the way you lived
They made you die
But they'll live on only in the shame you made them see
For what you meant to them, what you mean to me
You suffered in sun
And you suffered in rain
And you suffered for a reason
And you suffered in vain
When the lights go out
And the night is cold
And the air is still
And all time is old
And your fingers reach
But there's nothing there
And you'd sell your skin
Just to touch her hair
