Little boy lost, you're all alone
In a small, dark empty room
It's the end of the day, nowhere else to roam
You can't hide no more in your mother's womb
Now it's time to say good night
Now it's time to put out the light
Put out the light

Outside the city lights are burning
Tomorrow the world will still be turning
Laughing, dancing, crying, dying
But not for you, no more trying
And now it's time to say good night
Put out the light, put out the light

Your journey, it's been hard and long
Sometimes wondered where you went wrong
Always tried to tell wrong from right
And now it's time to say good night
Put out the light, put out the light

You can see the darkness falling
You can hear the voices calling
It was short, but sometimes sweet
Down on the beach in the summer heat
But now it's time to say good night
Put out the light, put out the light

You played your part, gave your heart
Paid the price, tore yourself apart
Bury your head, cry one last tear
There's no one here to watch your fear
And now it's time to say good night
Put out the light, put out the light

Don't you know your day is done
Nowhere left to turn and run
Don't you know the war is won
Don't you know there's no more sun
Don't kiss the ass of a smokin' gun
Just raise a smile and say goodnight
And put out the light, put out the light

Why doubt yourself, it wasn't you
Be bold, be brave, be real, it's true
Take one last look before you go
It's all over, I'm sure you know
That now it's time to say good night
Put out the light, put out the light
