Iris DeMent - Wait For The Blackout

Don't you ask me to come out
out when the sun does shine
Gonna stay here with curtains drawn
in darkness you'll be mine

Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Well welcome to my basement flat
No windows to see through
With darkness closing in, my friend
We both know what to do

Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night
Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Yea!

Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Come roam with me upon this earth
Keep us both alive
Know everything has lasted here
And ne'er would survive

Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

In darkness there is no sin Light only brings in fear There's
nothing to corrupt the eyes There is no vision here At first you
may find it strange But do not go away The darkness holds a power
that you wont find in the day There is no vision here (repeat)
