Firewood and Candles

Paul Kelly/Bill Miller (Sony ATV/Control)

Firewood and candles
On a winter Friday night
Waiting for my sweetheart
I’m gonna set the scene just right
Wine in the bottle
Paella cooking in the pan
Elvis on the stereo
I’m a man with a plan

Firewood and candles
Giving off a lovely light
And when she comes around
I hope she has an appetite
We’re gonna shut out the world
Forget about the TV news
Firewood and candles
Tonight they’re gonna see us through

We’re gonna talk a little
We’re gonna kiss a little and then some more
A whole lot more
I’m gonna show her I love her
Below and above her and a whole lot more

Firewood and candles
Making shadows on the wall
Is that the gods come to Earth
Or a mule kicking in our stall?
Making all these memories
Forever gonna keep us warm
When firewood and candles
Disappear in the storm

Yeah, we talk a little
We kiss a little and then some more
A whole lot more
Yeah, she knows I love her
Below and above her and a whole lot more
