Chantal Kreviazuk - Kerosene Lamp lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Have you seen a flame when it comes to life?<br>

It was always waitin', it just needed a strike.<br>

Have you got a match? 'Cause I'm lookin' to be lit.<br>

Open up your stash, I'm a kerosene lamp.<br>

<br>

I thought I told you I would need more than your average affection.<br>

<br>

So, why? Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?<br>

It just isn't right. Oh, why should I be cold?<br>

I'm too cold.<br>

<br>

Across this moonlit room, I see the silhouette of a man<br>

sleepin' all alone on the edge of the bed.<br>

But, I am right here. Are you really that tired?<br>

Now, would it really be so hard to come to my side?<br>

<br>

Oh, I thought I told you I would need more than just sometime attention.<br>

<br>

Why? Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?<br>

It just isn't right. Oh, why should I be cold?<br>

Yeah, I'm too cold.<br>

<br>

Has it been too long, am I just an old shoe?<br>

When the trends are all gone, am I your go-to?<br>

What did you see when you brought me in from the storm?<br>

Our bed used to be so warm.<br>

<br>

So, why? Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?<br>

It just isn't right. Oh, why should I be cold?<br>

Yeah, it's too cold.<br>

<br>

Why should I ever be cold? Never be cold.<br>

<BR><BR>
