Jeff Fein - Blackout Lyrics

And when the blackout came, it enveloped the neighborhood
In darkness for the first time since the flood of yesteryear
And I was secretly a-prayin' I would make it through the night
Well, I got the feeling that in lieu of divine healing
I'd need you to cradle me until we reach the dawn
'Cause it felt like I'd been drugged when the big man pulled the plug
There was nothing I could do, I'd been connected for so long
Come comfort me, I trust you for who you are
I'm clinging to your outline you're croonin
Don't be afraid of the dark ee la dee da
And when the blackout came, well traffic hit a standstill
Lights-out intersections filled with dumbstruck cars
And I was so bored, 'cause nothing would turn on
I had no way to entertain myself
Well I struggled for control over what was hot and cold
'Cause the air was unconditioned and the food started to rot
I began to understand what Joni Mitchell meant
It's like only when it's gone do we know what we got, yeah
You comfort me, I'll trust you for who you are
I'm clingin' to your outline you're croonin
Don't be afraid of the dark ee la dee da
Lee da dee da
Suddenly, you're out of sight
We're doing things by candlelight
Suddenly, you're out of sight
We're doing things by candlelight
Suddenly, suddenly you're out of sight
We're doing things by candlelight
Well suddenly, you're out of sight
But I thought Adam said "Let there be light"
And when the blackout came, it enveloped the neighborhood
In darkness for the first time since the flood of yesteryear
And I was secretly a-prayin
