Light A Candle Lyrics

SAMMY J:

My darling wife, I hope this letter finds you well

It's been three months since I've seen you, and the nights are cold as hell

I shot a man today, I saw his eyes before he fell

War does crazy things, am I an animal as well?

But won't you kiss the children, tell them Daddy's coming home

And remember what I told you

I'll be there to hold you

If you light a candle for me

Light a candle for me

Your darling husband...

ALI McGREGOR:

Dear...

BOTH:

Charlie

ALI McGREGOR:

I just received your letter

I wanted not to cry but only crying makes it better

I lie awake and think of you, at times a memory patches

And I would light you a candle, only... I can't find the matches

I thought you'd left them in the stationary dish

Won't you tell me where to find them and I will fulfill your wish

And I'll, I'll light a candle for you

SAMMY J:

Light a candle for me

ALI McGREGOR:

I'll light a candle for you

SAMMY J:

Light a candle for me

ALI McGREGOR:

Your darling...

SAMMY J:

Dear...

BOTH:

Judith

SAMMY J:

They're where they always were

Third drawer down beneath the sink, if you'd just taken time to think

And look, you would have found them I'm surprised you didn't see

Or you could have bought some new ones, bought some new matches for me

This war that we resort to, it's a terrifying task

But I came here to support you - is it too much to ask

That you...

ALI McGREGOR:

I'll...

SAMMY J:

Light a fucking candle for me

ALI McGREGOR:

I'll light a candle for you

SAMMY J:

Light a candle for me

BOTH:

Now a year has passed and I'm still yearning for your touch

A candle burning isn't much, but it's enough to let you see

There's still a light inside of me

ALI McGREGOR:

Dear Charlie, I did what you desire

I lit a candle for you but it set the house on fire

There was nothing left to salvage, but the children are okay

And kindly Tony Lumbkin has agreed to let us stay

SAMMY J:

Judith, don't you fucking dare end up in Tony Lumbkin's bed

If I find out that he's touched you there'll be trouble up ahead

ALI McGREGOR:

Charlie, you're the one that went away and left me all alone

If you're worried about our marriage then why aren't you coming home?

SAMMY J:

Because I trust you! Is that foolish? Are there things we should have said?

Well, I'll come home soon, my darling - in a box, when I am dead!

Then you'll...

ALI McGREGOR:

Then I'll...

SAMMY J:

You'd light a candle for me

ALI McGREGOR:

I'll light a candle for you

SAMMY J:

You'd light a candle for me

ALI McGREGOR:

I'll light a candle for you

SAMMY J: (spoken)

"Ah, g'day, Charlie, it's Tony Lumbkin here. Look, mate, probably best for everyone if you stop sending Judith those letters, okay, mate? I mean, you've been away for fifteen months now and a woman can only go so long on her own. The kids say hello, by the way. They've started calling me Dad, it's very cute. Anyway, I've enclosed a can of Spam because Judith's getting enough meat here on her own - if you know what I mean, haha!... I mean sex, let's get that straight. Anyway, mate, you take care now, okay?

SAMMY J: (sung)

Would you...

BOTH:

Light a candle for me?
