Candles
I tried to do all that I can •
But the churches have run out of candles •
I tried to give you all I own •
But the bankers have run out of loaners •
It’s always just that little bit more •
That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for •
I tried to block the cabin door •
But the churches have run out of candles •
I tried to lend a helping hand •
But the rooms have all run out of pamphlets •
I tried to cook it up and turn •
The kitchen has run out of canned bits •
It’s always just that little bit more •
That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for •
I tried a beggin on the cabin floor •
But the churches have run out of candles •
Turn one day in the cathedral •
I finally lit you a candle •
And all along the vaulted halls •
The virgins did smile from their mantles •
It’s always just that little bit more •
That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for •
But gets you where you need to go •
But the churches have run out of candles •
It’s always just that little bit more •
That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for •
But gets you where you need to go •
But the churches have run out of candles •
It’s always just that little bit more •
That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for •
But gets you where you need to go •
But the churches have run out of candles
