When eveything is down

The darkness swept in with the wind and came walking down our street again
The power ran all the way to the end
And passed us by
The clocks had stopped along with the incandescence's hum
Not asking why, we continued on.

Because we know everything is down again
Were back at that place in the darkness where love is best left to grow
Besides the heat of a fire, basking in its primordial glow
Is where I find you
When every thing is down

The utilities will scream blood and murder while the networks all die without A sound
Below the moonlight I know people think that we have hitched a ride to Our doom.
But by the Stars that I see, and you in my arms we can find the best of What's left around
Knowing that this will be over much too soon, I will find you
When everything is down.
