The Blackout

The candles on the table lit you up, And I wondered if we'd done enough. The blackout came to slow down everyone And it spoke to us, said "you've had your fun" The autumn in your eyes, it lit me up. I was a fallen leaf, you were a firework. When winter came, I tried to keep us warm At least warmer than... than we'd been before. On our way back home, on our way back home On our way back home, on our way back home I pulled you close to me and soon forgot About those heavy hearts, about those other ones. The blackout came to slow down everything That we'd come to know, we still had songs to sing. On our way back home, on our way back home On our way back home, on our way back home The candles on the table lit you up, And I wondered if we'd done enough.
