Chemical Plant
In a small town down on the highway to coast Factories and churches laid on dusty gravel roads This is where they first met Such a long time ago
Young lovers, wet behind the ears Foolish and unguarded, falling blindly without fear Skipping school and hopping fences Making love down by the pier
Love like elements 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 bones You bear some strange familiar likeness To a man I feel I know
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com As if to keep each other safe They spent the night locked in embrace
And the lights from the chemical plant Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp When all else seemed unstable Like a watchtower, they were there The lights from the chemical plant
All the years passed by them both not so unkindly And whenever things got rough, the pain they'd share But no matter when death comes it is untimely As she sat next to him, and she tried hard to prepare
Hoping you still see them Through the window, if you look they are still there Open up your eyes just once more, darling 'Cause without you 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 they'd always be there And then one day they were gone The lights from the chemical plant
