"The Stars Came Out Once The Lights Went Out" lyrics

I'm caught between the pen and the page
Lost in the remains of the age
Daddy, when you were young was it all this strange?
Fear's inching up the ridge of my spine
The talking clock reminded me I've
Never felt all myself and I don't know why

I can't seem to get to grips with it
I almost touched my fingertips to it
Why, oh my, oh my?
Then the stars came out once the lights went out
And I could not speak so I had to shout
And then the moon passed sadly by

The joys are few and far between
Got the doomsday app on my iPhone screen
Honey, I've seen the truth and it's worse than it seemed
Sins derived and sins original
Lies eclipsed and lies made visible, I'm
Turning my back on the world, fixing my eyes on the sky

I can't seem to get to grips with it
I almost touched my fingertips to it
Why, oh my, oh my?
Then the stars came out once the lights went out
And I could not speak so I had to shout
And then the moon passed sadly by

Love, will I see you again?
'Cause I could do with some mending
Love, will I see you again?
'Cause I'm through with pretending
Will I see you again?
'Cause I could do with some mending
Will I see you again?
