When the Lights Went Dim

[Verse 1]
I was in a hurry when the lights went dim
A sound like water, bangin' walls, and front door jams
We carried all we loved to the upper floor
I left one arm empty waiting for your voice
Well, I'm certain that it's true
You know I'd hate to think my lover never made it through

[Verse 2]
You could smell the silence all around for twenty miles
Locked up in our attic, old books, Christmas lights
We all wonder why no one came at all
It was awful dark, but I saw what I saw
Well, I'm certain that it's true
I wish you were with me when we broke out through our roof

[Chorus]
I was in a hurry when the lights went dim
I was in a hurry when the lights went dim
Who was in a hurry when the lights went dim?
Who was in a hurry when the lights went dim?
