Robert Ellis - Chemical Plant lyrics

rate me

In a small town down on the highway to coast

Factories and churches lay on dusty gravure roads

This is where they first met

Such a long time ago

Young runners ,what the hell is?

Foolish and unguarding,following blindly without fear

Skippin’ school and hoppin’ fences

Making love down by the pear

Love like in a man’s react

Constellations in the black

The lights from the chemical plant

Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp

From a car parked by the ocean

What a vision to behold

The lights from the chemical plant

She says my heart is like an orphan

And your words are like home

I do not deserve such kindness

Keeps me warm down to my arms

We bear some strange familiar likeness

To a man I feel I know

As if to keep each other safe

They spent the night and then embrace

And the lights from the chemical plant

Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp

When all seemed unstable

I could watch how they were there

The lights from the chemical plant

All the years pass by the…

So I’m …

And whenever things got rough,the pain they share

But no matter when death comes

It is on …

She sat next to him

And tried hard to prepare

How can you still see them?

Through the window if you look

They are still there

Open up your eyes

Just once more ,darling

Cause without I know I just can’t bear

The lights from the chemical plant

Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp

I was sure that they would always be there

And one day they were gone

The lights from the chemical plant
