When society's crumbled
And everything's gone,
When the cars are all rusted away
When 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
And the voices just gather to sing
When the guns are the fence posts
And 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 the 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 the breeze
After the anarchy finally subsides,
When you reckon with how it will be
When empires are humbled for the eyes of the people
And the truth will be like a parade
When industry's fallen, we'll make our own clothes now
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 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
In the 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 'till the night turns to day
You, you and the storm clouds
And the puddles at our feet
The lightning cuts through the heavens
And lights you so bravely
And I'll still write you a song
To last the whole night long
You, you and the candles
You, you and the candles
You, you and the candles
