I was in a hurry when the lights went dim
A sound like water banging walls and front door jams
But carried all we love to the upper floor
I left one on empty waiting for your voice

Well i'm certain that it's true
Though i hate to think my lover never made it through

You could smell the silence all around for twenty miles
Locked up in our attic all those christmas lights
We all wondered why no one came at all
It was awful dark but i saw what i saw

Well i'm certain that it's true
I wish you were with me and we both got through

I was in a hurry when the lights went dim (x4)
