J. Fein - Blackout Lyrics

And when the blackout came it enveloped the neighborhood in darkness
For the first time since the flood of yesteryear and I was
Secretly a-praying that I would make it through the night

I got the feeling that in lieu of divine healing
I'd need you to cradle me until we reached the dawn
'Cause it felt like I'd been drugged when the big man pulled the plug
There was nothing I could do I'd been connected for so long

Come comfort me I'll trust you
For who you are
I'm clinging to your outline, you're crooning
Don't be afraid of the dark

And when the blackout came, traffic hit a standstill
Lights out intersections filled with dumbstruck cars and I was
So bored, 'cause nothing would turn on
I had no way to entertain myself

I struggled for control over what was hot and cold
'Cause the air was unconditioned and the food started to rot
And I began to understand what Joni Mitchell meant
It's like only when it's gone do we know what we've got

You comfort me, I trust you
For who you are
I'm clinging to your outline, you're crooning
Don't be afraid of the dark

Suddenly you're out of sight, we're doing things by candlelight
Suddenly you're out of sight, but I thought Adam said let there be light

And when the blackout came, it enveloped the neighborhood
In darkness for the first time since the flood of yesteryear and I was
Secretly a-praying
