Hawksley Workman - You And The Candles lyrics

rate me

[Laughter]

When societies crumble and every things gone

When the cars are all rusted away

When their ain't no more money and there's nothing to buy

When 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 post

The cars are the dog house

And the telephones no longer ring

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 firelight will be all I want to see

And I'll still sing you a song

That'll 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 humble

For the eyes of the people

And the truth will be like a parade

When industries fallen

Will make our own clothes now

And the 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 all I want to see

And I'll still sing you a song

That'll last the whole night long

Oh you, you and the candles

In a waste paper basket

The timings fantastic

For lovers to mean what they say

And a night light 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 lightening cuts through the heavens

That lights 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 <br />

<br />
