lyrics

You tell me this don't feel like it's your city
Your daddy came here 40 years ago
And if they take it back, well you've got your bags all packed
And you'll drive but you're just not sure where you'll go

Keep that candle burning, oh late into the night
Baby, keep that candle burning, oh we could use the light
There's a million miles of darkness between our fragile lights
So we'll just keep those candles burning down the line

23 years living in the sunlight
Now they tell you, 'Step into the shade
Batten down the hatches and we'll ride this whole thing out'
Ah, but you know there's no freedom where there's chains

Keep that candle burning, oh late into the night
Baby, keep that candle burning, oh we could use the light
Don't waste your time in counting if we've got more dark than light
Because a candle always overcomes the night
