|
In a small town down on the highway to coast |
|
Factories and churches lay on dusty gravure roads |
|
This is where they first met |
|
Such a long time ago |
|
Young runners ,what the hell is? |
|
Foolish and unguarding,following blindly without fear |
|
Skippin' school and hoppin' fences |
|
Making love down by the pear |
|
Love like in a man's react |
|
Constellations in the black |
|
The lights from the chemical plant |
|
Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp |
|
From a car parked by the ocean |
|
What a vision to behold |
|
The lights from the chemical plant |
|
She says my heart is like an orphan |
|
And your words are like home |
|
I do not deserve such kindness |
|
Keeps me warm down to my arms |
|
We bear some strange familiar likeness |
|
To a man I feel I know |
|
As if to keep each other safe |
|
They spent the night and then embrace |
|
And the lights from the chemical plant |
|
Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp |
|
When all seemed unstable |
|
I could watch how they were there |
|
The lights from the chemical plant |
|
All the years pass by the' |
|
So I'm ' |
|
And whenever things got rough,the pain they share |
|
But no matter when death comes |
|
It is on ' |
|
She sat next to him |
|
And tried hard to prepare |
|
How can you still see them? |
|
Through the window if you look |
|
They are still there |
|
Open up your eyes |
|
Just once more ,darling |
|
Cause without I know I just can't bear |
|
The lights from the chemical plant |
|
Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp |
|
I was sure that they would always be there |
|
And one day they were gone |
|
The lights from the chemical plant |
