Before The Street Lights Go On lyrics

Before the street lights go on The best part of the day Is hoping that the lights Will never be lighted again We were careless sometimes When it meant having a good time When the gin hit our face There was nothing that we could deny There were motions to trace When we learned how to dance As the music kept on We became graceful black swans breaking free All your life When no one was looking You and the shadows danced So who let this empty glass fill? Shadows are stepped on But they never said nothing about lives When will these feathers fly?
