When The Lights Go Down (with strings)

from Wondertime (2015 Remaster) by Chris Bradford

/

lyrics

She is not into permanent things
She wants to lead her life on the roundabouts
And swings
Don't you try to pin her down
She'll be your Circus Master, you will be her
Clown
When the lights go down.

Don't turn around or show your back
She'll be your Queen of Spades, you will be
Her Jack
Don't turn your laughing charm on her
She'll pay you back with something
Beautiful that burns.


When the lights go down and the people stop
Running, when the lights go down and the
Candle stops burning
There will be just her and me
When the lights go down.

Ah let her wear your Halloween crown
Let her do anything though she may let
You down
She is not into permanent things
She wants to lead her life on the
Roundabouts and swings.
When the lights go down...
