Chemical Plant Lyrics - Lights From The Chemical Plant - Robert Ellis

In a small town down on the highway to coast 

Factories and churches lay on dusty gravel roads 

This is where they first met 

Such a long time ago 

Young runners, what the hell is? 

Foolish and unguarding, following blindly without fear 

Skippin' school and hoppin' 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 

We bear some strange familiar likeness 

To a man I feel I know 

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 seemed unstable 

I could watch how they were there 

The lights from the chemical plant 

All the years pass by there both not so untimely 

And whenever things got rough, the pain they share 

But no matter when death comes 

It is untimely 

She sat next to him 

And she tried hard to prepare 

Oh can 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 that they would always be there 

And then one day they were gone 

The lights from the chemical plant
