Our Nation (song)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thunder rolled across the county line
Every light in town went out at nine
Radio crackled, then it lost its song
You said, “Baby, how long, how long?”
I found a match down in the kitchen drawer
Heard the rain come knocking at the door
Ain’t got power, ain’t got a plan
All I got is the warmth of your hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the wind tear the roof right off
Let the whole wide world be lost
[Chorus]
’Cause I’ll be your candle in the storm
Burning low but burning warm
When the dark comes rolling in
I’ll hold you close and start again
Let the heavens break and pour
I don’t need a thing much more
Than your heart against my own
Candle in the storm
[Verse 2]
Shadows dancing up along the wall
Seems like we don’t need much at all
Phone is dead and the streets are still
Time just slowing on the windowsill
You trace a promise on my open palm
In the middle of the howl, I’m calm
If tomorrow never shows its face
I’d still be smiling in this place
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the wind tear the roof right off
Let the whole wide world be lost
[Chorus]
’Cause I’ll be your candle in the storm
Burning low but burning warm
When the dark comes rolling in
I’ll hold you close and start again
Let the heavens break and pour
I don’t need a thing much more
Than your heart against my own
Candle in the storm
[Bridge]
(Will you stay?) Till the morning comes
(Will you stay?) Till the thunder’s done
(Will you stay?) If the flame burns thin
I’ll strike another and we’ll start again
Oh, we’ll start again
[Final Chorus]
I’ll be your candle in the storm
Burning low but burning warm
When the dark comes rolling in
I’ll hold you close and start again
Let the heavens break and pour
I don’t need a thing much more
Than your heart against my own
Candle in the storm
[Outro]
Hold on, hold on
Candle in the storm
