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 sing you a song
That'll last the whole night long.
You, you and the candles

[piano]

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 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
Your face bathed in the fire lights will be all I want to see.
And I'll sing you a song
That'll last the whole night long.
You, you and the candles
