WHO PUT THE LIGHTS OUT
(Paul Ryan)

Dana - 1971


I hear there's a song in the air
The singer of love speaks to me
Shout out aloud, I don't care
You laughed at me and you'll do it again and again

Now, suddenly I realise
That someone's shining a light
It hurt me, but now I can see
You lied to me and you'll do it again and again and again

Who put the lights out
Who put the lights out
Many years ago
Many years ago-ooh-ooh-ooh

Who put the lights out
Who put the lights out
Many years ago
Many ye-e-e-e-e-e-ars ago

They say it's a healer of pain
A pain that we knew once, but now
I won't let it happen again
We loved each other, but that was years and years ago

Many years ago
We laughed away the tears
Many years ago
We laughed away, those years away

Ooh-ooh-ooh, who put the lights out
Who put the lights out
Many years ago
Many years ago-ooh-ooh-ooh

Who put the lights out
Who put the lights out
Many years ago
Many ye-e-e-e-e-e-e-ars
Years and years and years and years ago

Years and years ago
Years and years ago
Years and years ago
Years and years ago
Years and years ago
Years and years ago.........FADE
