Firewood and Candles - 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

Elvis on the stereo, I’m a man with a plan

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

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 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

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
