Discover the story of the song > The Light Will Stay On – the walkabouts

The protagonist sleeps before bad things can happen and wakes up before the good things are gone. They have secrets and unclear motives. They watch the crows fly low and hungry, and the lights will stay on even when they're gone. If the protagonist is buried, they want an extra three feet added for sorrow, sweat, and strange memories that never fade. Even when they're safe, the lights will not fade.
