This is pretty rough, both the performance and recording. Well, back to the ol drawing board with this one. Maybe a thumb strum would sound less harsh.

The lights Gone Out - lyrics
written and performed by
Dan D. Dirges

With two able hands, and a beating heart.
I could have fed my brother, but I left him there to starve.
I walked right past, I cant be bothered now.
Forgive me Lord - The Lights gone out.

These feet were made for walking, but I got nowhere to go.
A great big world awaits. But I stay right here alone.
I need no one. Don`t bother comin` round.
Forgive me Lord - The Lights gone out.

There`s a full moon tonight, but I got an empty head.
It hurts too much to think, maybe I`m better off dead.
I blow the candles out, and lay my body down.
Forgive me Lord - The Lights gone out.

Got an old tv, to keep me company.
and when I get bored, I drink myself to sleep.
Then I wake up and just lay there on the ground.
Forgive me Lord - The Lights gone out.

I watch the sun go down, down on another day.
and now it`s gone forever, but it don`t matter anyway.
I keep wishing for tomorrow and for my soul to come back around.
Forgive me Lord - The Lights gone out.
