Paul Kelly
Firewood and Candles
[Verse 1]
Firewood and candles on a winter Friday night
Waiting for my sweetheart, I wanna set the scene just right
Wine in the bottles, paella cooking in the pan
Elvis on the stereo, I'm a man with a plan

[Verse 2]
Firewood and candles, giving off a lovely light
And when she knocks upon my door, I hope she's got an appetite
We're gonna shut out the world, forget about the TV news
Firewood and candles, tonight, they're gonna see us through

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Yeah, we talk a little, we kiss a little
And then some more, a whole lot more
Oh, she knows I love her
Below and above her and a whole lot more
[Outro]
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
