Firewood and Candles Songtext
von Paul Kelly

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
It was on the stereo
I′m a man with a plan

Firewood and candles
Giving off a lovely light
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


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 coming to Earth?
Or a mule kicking in a stall
Making all these memories
Forever gonna keep us more
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
Oh, she knows I love her
Below and above her and a whole lot more

Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles
Firewood and candles

(Firewood and candles)
(Firewood and candles)
(Firewood and candles)
