Discover the story of the song > After The Lights Go Out – The Walker Brothers

The protagonist is in his room at night listening to his neighbor's complaints and a girl crying for her partner. He sees a lonely pigeon outside and realizes he also feels lonely without his partner. He ignores a phone call from someone asking for his partner because he doesn't know what to say. The chorus repeats that he doesn't know what to do without his partner when the lights go out at night.
