Loading...

[verse 1: meg]
at the far end of main street
where n0body goes
there’s a man who makes candles
from sun+up to close
sells them by day
and he makes them at night
don’t have much time, but he’s always got light

[verse 2: meg]
and one day last fall, electrician came ’round
blinded with bright lights from wires cross+town
now he sits drinking whiskey
and acts like a clown
and the man who makes candles tries not to get down

[chorus: meg and jim, meg]
you’ll sing: la da di da dum
sun is gonna come
when electric lights will all burn out
the fire burns without a doubt
picks me up when i feel low

[post+chorus: meg]
and that’s all i know
[verse 3: meg]
electrician’s wife, she got lots of fine clothes
she got rings on her fingers
and some on her toes
she drive a fast car wherever she goes
ain’t got to worry ’bout money
and that’s all that she knows

[verse 4: meg]
the candlemaker’s wife, she got two pairs of shoes
she got ten million worries
but no diamonds or jewels
says, “you smile when you win
but you learn when you lose;
if you don’t like your choices
you still got to choose”

[chorus: meg and jim, meg]
so sing: la da di da dum
time is gonna come
when electric lights will all burn out
the fire burns without a doubt
moons will heal and babies grow

[post+chorus: meg]
and that’s all i know
[bridge: meg, meg and jim]
tell me, what can you say
when all that you make seems to melt away?
tell me, there must be a way
to stay
stay where the light is
stay where the light is

[instrumental break]

[verse 5: meg]
sooner or later, n0body can say
soon as the night always turns into day
the thunder and lightning are makin’ you blue
a spark in the candle will sure see you through

[chorus: meg and jim, meg]
so sing: la da di da dum
time is gonna come
when electric lights will all burn out
the fire burns without a doubt
light’s good fast, but better slow

[post+chorus: meg]
and that’s all i know
