You And The Candles |
When society has crumbled |
And everything is gone |
And the cars are all rusted away |
And there ain’t no more money |
And there’s nothing to buy |
And all that we have is the day |
When the world becomes silent |
No planes in the air |
When the voices just gather to sing |
When the guns are the fence posts |
The cars are the doghouse |
And the telephones no longer ring |
What, what of the night |
With no electrical light |
So what then? |
You, you and the candles |
Will be all that I need |
Your face bathed in the firelight |
Will be all I want to see |
And i’ll still sing you a song |
That will last the whole night long |
You, you and the candles |
When the grocery stores are hollow inside |
And the airports are filled with a breeze |
After the anarchy finally subsides |
When you reckon with how it will be |
When empires are humbled |
Before the eyes of the people |
And the truth will be like a parade |
When industry’s fallen |
We’ll make our own clothes now |
And gifts of our hands rise again |
And what, what of the night |
With no electrical light |
So what then? |
You, you and the candles |
Will be all that I need |
Your face bathed in the firelight |
Will be all I want to see |
And i’ll still sing you a song |
That will last the whole night long |
You, you and the candles |
In a waste paper basket |
The timing’s fantastic |
For lovers to mean what they say |
And a night lit in candles |
On stained wooden mantles |
Keep us safe 'til the night |
Turns to day |
You, you and the storm clouds |
And the puddles at our feet |
The lightning cuts through the heavens |
And light you so briefly |
And i’ll still write you a song |
To last the whole night long |
You, you and the candles |
You, you and the candles |
