Текст песни: You And The Candles + перевод

When society has crumbled

And everything is gone

And the cars are all rusted away

And there ain’t no more money

And there’s nothing to buy

And all that we have is the day

When the world becomes silent

No planes in the air

When the voices just gather to sing

When the guns are the fence posts

The cars are the doghouse

And the telephones no longer ring

What, what of the night

With no electrical light

So what then?

You, you and the candles

Will be all that I need

Your face bathed in the firelight

Will be all I want to see

And i’ll still sing you a song

That will last the whole night long

You, you and the candles

When the grocery stores are hollow inside

And the airports are filled with a breeze

After the anarchy finally subsides

When you reckon with how it will be

When empires are humbled

Before the eyes of the people

And the truth will be like a parade

When industry’s fallen

We’ll make our own clothes now

And gifts of our hands rise again

And what, what of the night

With no electrical light

So what then?

You, you and the candles

Will be all that I need

Your face bathed in the firelight

Will be all I want to see

And i’ll still sing you a song

That will last the whole night long

You, you and the candles

In a waste paper basket

The timing’s fantastic

For lovers to mean what they say

And a night lit in candles

On stained wooden mantles

Keep us safe 'til the night

Turns to day

You, you and the storm clouds

And the puddles at our feet

The lightning cuts through the heavens

And light you so briefly

And i’ll still write you a song

To last the whole night long

You, you and the candles

You, you and the candles
