Hawksley Workman - You And The Candles (HD) @ Chapter's

Описание: Opening the floor to requests, he agreed to play this one if the crowd could help him along with any forgotten words. A sweet sing along and a little improvised reading of a somewhat erotic passage. I know it's a long one, but that part is around the 4:03 mark.

Great fun for all.

His new album, Milk, is currently out.

--Lyrics if you care to help him sing-

[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
