When the lights go out When I'm on my own It just doesn't help trying to talk over the phone You're there I'm here alone When I'm here alone The hours turn into days Still nothing's changed When I see you again What will you say? Can I stay? When the lights go out When I'm on my own It just doesn't help Reading the card you sent from home You're there I'm here all alone I am here alone I am here alone You are on your own I am here alone You are on your own
