Show me a writer
With a sad, sad song
Who lived his pain
Just stayed to long
Show me a fighter
Fighting for his king
His heart and blood
Left in the ring
Give me a needle
I can pass on through
I'll take that chance, girl
How about you?
Show me the lover
Who when all seems lost
Makes love to his grief
Careless of the cost
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Show me a father
With a broken son
His face like stone
Cold as a gun
There was a soldier
Atop my crumbling walls
But wind and rain just
Drowned his calls
I know it's hard
Not so hard to tell
That my head don't
Match my water well
Like walking listless
Down a darkened street
I hear the drum
I just can't keep the beat
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Been a while since
I was on trial
For the course
My life has run
I haven't heard any words
That that forgive the things I've done
So set a course for the north
I'll be waiting for word to come
Just come away
Come away
Come away
Come away
Way
Come away, my son
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
