Candles

I tried to do all that I can But the churches have run out of candles I tried to give you all I own But the bankers have run out of loaners It’s always just that little bit more That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for I tried to block the cabin door But the churches have run out of candles I tried to lend a helping hand But the rooms have all run out of pamphlets I tried to cook it up and turn The kitchen has run out of canned bits It’s always just that little bit more That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for I tried a beggin on the cabin floor But the churches have run out of candles Turn one day in the cathedral I finally lit you a candle And all along the vaulted halls The virgins did smile from their mantles It’s always just that little bit more That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for But gets you where you need to go But the churches have run out of candles It’s always just that little bit more That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for But gets you where you need to go But the churches have run out of candles It’s always just that little bit more That doesn’t get you what you’re looking for But gets you where you need to go But the churches have run out of candles
