Kiss Me As The Light Goes Down
It's just me and my guitar, basically. Songs I wrote, hopefully not too tacky. Peace out.
Story behind the song
This is one of those songs when there were all these different things happening at once and then blended together with old hurts hiding in dark corners.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I saw you lying all alone
A broken body left abandoned on the stones
I don’t know how that made me feel
Don’t even know if it was real
Verse 2
I saw you stranded in the lights
Your dirty fingernails, your eyes rolled over white
I don’t know what I could have said
Or did it just happen in my head?
Bridge
I’ve spent all these years, living in fear
I’m sick and done with it now
I’ve done the time, for all my crimes
I’m busting out any way how
So come over here, whisper in my ear
Tell me how it all works out
And kiss me as the light goes down
Chorus
Oh, I’m gonna stop the trains
At least for an hour
And if not for an hour
Then at least I won’t have faded away
Verse 3
My thoughts have led me to this day
As, one by one, all other options dropped away
I guess there’s nothing left to say
Yeah, it’s all over now - just one last thing remains
Bridge
See, I’m on the tracks, there’s now way back
It’s real, and it’s happening now
There’s a world out there, that doesn’t care
I’m sick and done with it now
So come over here, whisper in my ear
Tell me how it all works out
And kiss me as the rain comes down
Chorus
Oh, I’m gonna stop the trains
At least for an hour
And if not for an hour
Then at least I won’t have faded away
