Amoung The Ruins
Tom Cochrane · Other Songs - Tom Cochrane
When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to see
I'll be here
When the shadows die
And there's nothing left to fear
When the lights go down
And the shadows die
You know I'll be around
I'll wait for you
Will you watch for me
In the stillness of the sound
I'll be here
When the dust has died
When the ground has turned to stone
I'll be here
In that silent night
In the stillness of the ruins
In that windswept night
In that golden light
Don't let it fade to black
When the curtain fall
Has left us all
Standing in the back
When the lights go down
And the shadows die
You know I'll be around
And I'll wait for you
Will you watch for me
In the stillness of the sound
I'll be here
When the lights go down
And the shadows die
I'll be here
With you among the ruins
In that windswept night
In the golden light
Don't let it fade to black
When the curtain fall
Has left us all
Standing in the back
When the lights go down
And the shadows die
You know I'll be around
I'll Wait for you
Will you watch for me
In the stillness of the sound
Oh---I'll be here
Oh---I'll be here
