lyrics

There’s a room in a house on a street in this town, where I’ve left a little history. Everybody’s got a place that they go back to or a place that they just can’t be. Growing up my mom would call us home from the corner of the street. Seems like every little thing that I’ve done since is a promise that I could not keep. The light tonight is fading fast, the lamp lights lead us home. There is nothing ever felt so good, so sad, so sweet, so gone. Well my father worked down at Morris’ yard out past the railroad tracks, where the freight train wheels would whine like dogs that got caught up in a trap. He taught me how to be a man in a thousand quiet ways and there are things that you learn from factory men that they never need to say. The light tonight is fading fast, the lamp lights lead us home. There is nothing ever felt so good, so sad, so sweet, so gone. So gone. Now there’s a girl in a room in house somewhere and I don’t see her these days. She’s got the light of December in her eyes and she’s like August when she sways. Now everybody’s got their secrets, everybody’s got their sins. I wish I’d let you carve me up, I wish you’d let me in. We’re all down in the dust and the rubble, the consequences of our past. If I gave you my hand, would you pull me out because these days goes by so fast? The light tonight is fading fast, the lamp lights lead us home. There is nothing ever felt so good, so sad, so sweet, so gone. Yeah the light tonight is fading fast, the lamp lights lead us home. There is nothing ever felt so good, so sad, so sweet, so gone, so gone.
