"Life After Dark" lyrics - JOE BONAMASSA

To get to the truth
Had to get through to you
Dragging my blues behind from a faraway city
I came here tonight
For something to take me higher
Death before love always sets things right

[Chorus:]
No, I can't pray you away
There's no simple goodbyes
A new beginning awaits
When I turn out the lights
Slowly but surely
I'm mending this broken heart
That's my life, that's my life
Life after dark

Resurrection
Be the one who rises up
Your power over me, all turns to dust
Desperation
It's a dark and dirty world
Deep down inside, I miss my only girl

[Chorus:]
I know I can't pray you away
There's no simple goodbyes
A new beginning awaits
When I turn out the lights
Slowly but surely
I'm mending this broken heart
That's my life, that's my life
Life after dark

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
No, I can't pray you away
There's no simple goodbyes
A new beginning awaits
When I turn out the lights
Slowly but surely
I'm mending this broken heart
That's my life, that's my life
Life after dark

[Outro:]
To get through to the truth
I had to get through to you
Dragging my blues behind from a faraway city
