Oh simple things where have you gone...!

Luna Karam - Bizakker Bel Kharif (QQHOK)

I just want to see you again

The Way You Said Goodbye (Special Guest Luna Verité)

Lyrics written by, and music created by Joe Kirk. Copyright 2025.

Some have more time than others. 
Others have already run out.
Clocks crumble in the back of our minds.
Pictures of their smiles.
Everything eventually fades into a black.
I don't want to let go my sweet love.
Hold on to me forever.

I remember the first time.
You became my favorite song.
My favorite everything.
Days short.
Nights long.
Poetry spilled from my lips.
I wanted to pour it all over you.
Time was already the enemy.
Seeds of deceit inside the dark side of friends.

If you let go now.
There will never be a forever.
You know how the rules are.
Take from the sky another star.
To a broken soul.
Give it another scar.
You always knew what you were.
I forgot what I was.

Clocks crumble in the back of our minds.
Pictures of their smiles.
Everything eventually fades into a black.
I don't want to let go my sweet love.
Hold on to me forever.

We crash like cars with no brakes.
So many burning bridges.
Did she even miss this.
How can I still taste her kiss.
How could she turn her back on this.
Time betrays another man.
He let's go for the last time.
Time is a friend to nobody son.

Poetry spilled from my lips.
I wanted to pour it all over you.

I remember the first time.
You became my favorite song.
My favorite everything.
Days short.
Nights long.

Some have more time than others. 
Others have already run out.
Clocks crumble in the back of our minds.
Pictures of their smiles.
Everything eventually fades into a black.
I don't want to let go my sweet love.
Hold on to me forever.

For every time there was no time.
Time and time again.
Begging to the God that put it all here.
I am a man with everything and nothing.
Love and fear.
Something then nothing.

I don't want to let go my sweet love.
Hold on to me forever.

“When the Light Goes Out” is a tender, blues-tinged reflection on loss, memory, and the quiet ways love continues after someone is gone. Rooted in an 8-bar blues plea with a soft minor lift, the song begins in the ache of disbelief and gradually opens toward warmth and gratitude. Tremolo keys shimmer beneath a smoky tenor vocal, giving the track a timeless, late-night intimacy. As the song unfolds, subtle harmonies and gentle instrumental blooms guide the listener from sorrow into a gentle sense of enduring light. A piece that holds grief with compassion and still finds the dawn on the other side.
