When The Crowds Are Gone Lyrics - Savatage

I don't know where the years have gone 

Memories can only last so long 

Like faded photographs, forgotten songs 

And the things I never knew 

When the skin is thin, the heart shows through 

Please believe me, what I tell you is true... 

Where's the light, turn then on again 

One more night to believe and then 

Another note for my requiem 

A memory to carry on 

The story's over when the crowds are gone

All my friends have been crucified 

They made life a long suicide true 

Guess we never figured out the rules 

But I'm still alive and my fingers feel 

I'm gonna play on till the final reel's through 

And read the credits from a different view 

Where's the lights, turn them on again 

One more night to believe and then 

Another note for my requiem 

A memory to carry on 

The story's over when the crowds are gone 

When the crowds are gone 

And I'm all alone 

Playing a final song 

Now that the lights are gone 

Turn them on again 

One more time for me my friend 

Turn them on again 

Photos 

I never wanted to know 

Never wanted to see 

I wasted my time till time wasted me 

Never wanted to go 

Always wanted to stay 

Cause the person I am are the parts that I play 

So I play and I plan 

And hope and I scheme 

To the lure of a night 

Filled with unfinished dreams 

And I'm holding on tight 

To a world gone astray 

As they charge me for years 

I can no longer pay 

And the lights 

Turn them off my friend 

And the ghosts 

Well just let them in 

Cause in the dark 

It's easier to see
