Light Don`t Shine — текст песни (Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes)

(S. Van Zandt)

The streets are dark tonight
The city is quiet now
It`s good to be away
Those people they talk too loud
It`s too early to go home
This is no time to be alone

Something inside died today
Our last chance just slipped away
The blues this morning came to stay
There`s nothing left to say

It`s over now, my friend
It`s over now, my friend
The child`s dream`s been swept away
What fools we must have been
For good or worse we`ve lost forever
What we were before
It`s over - the light don`t shine no more

They came to shake my hand
I don`t want them to touch me now
They said, "Congratulations" but it`s too late now
Where were they when I called?
How could they forget it all?

Didn`t you get what you need?
The fight was lost, it wasn`t meant to be
It isn`t as hard for you to leave
There`s no easy way for me

It`s over now, my friend
It`s over now, my friend
The child`s dreams been swept away
What fools we must have been
For good or worse we`ve lost forever
What we were before
It`s over, the light don`t shine no more
It`s over, the light don`t shine no more
No more
It just don`t shine no more
