The Stars Came Out Once The Lights Went Out - The Veils

I’m caught between the pen and the page

Lost in the remains of the age

Daddy when you were young was it all this strange?

Fear’s inching up the ridge of my spine

The talking clock reminded me

I’ve never felt all myself and I don’t know why

I can’t seem to get to grips with it

I almost touched my fingertips to it

Why oh my oh my?

Then the stars came out once the lights went out

And I could not speak so I had to shout

And then the moon passed sadly by.

The joys are few and far between

I’ve got the doomsday app.

on my iPhone screen

Honey, I’ve seen the truth and it’s worth than it seemed

Sins derived and sins original

Lies eclipsed and lies made visible

I’m turning my back on the world and fixing my eyes on the sky

I can’t seem to get to grips with it

I almost touched my fingertips to it

Why oh my oh my?

Then the stars came out once the lights went out

And I could not speak so I had to shout

And then the moon passed sadly by

Love will I see you again

'Cause I could do with some mending

Love, will I see you again

'Cause I’m through with pretending

Love, will I see you again?
