Lyrics Firewood and Candles - Paul Kelly

Firewood and Candles

Firewood and candles on a winter Friday night
Waiting for my sweetheart, I wanna set the scene just right
Wine in the bottles, paella cooking in the pan
Elvis on the stereo, I’m a man with a plan
Firewood and candles giving off a lovely light
And when she knocks upon my door, I hope she’s got an appetite
We’re gonna shut out the world, forget about the TV news
Firewood and candles, tonight they’re gonna see us through
We’re gonna talk a little
We’re gonna kiss a little and then some more
A whole lot more
I’m gonna show her I love her
Below and above her and a whole lot more
Firewood and candles, making shadows on the wall
Is that the gods come to Earth, or a mule kicking in our stall?
Making all these memories, forever gonna keep us warm
When firewood and candles disappear in the storm
Yeah, we talk a little
We kiss a little and then some more
A whole lot more
Oh, she knows I love her
Below and above her and a whole lot more
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
