Lyrics
The wind is howling down the lane The wires are down, the sky's in pain I put a candle in the window pane So you can find your way again Candle in the window, storm outside Come on in, you don't have to hide Bring your wet shoes, bring your tired There's a chair by the flame and a song by the fire Candle in the window, storm outside I kept the light, I kept it bright The street is dark, but I'm not alone Somebody's knocking, come on home I'll pour the tea, I'll warm the bread You don't need to tell me what's been said Candle in the window, storm outside Come on in, you don't have to hide Bring your wet shoes, bring your tired There's a chair by the flame and a song by the fire Candle in the window, storm outside I kept the light, I kept it bright Thunder rolls and I don't mind I've got a flame and I've got time Every storm will wear itself out Love is what it's all about Now the rain is soft against the glass The worst of it has come to pass The candle's low but the room is warm Nobody's lost after the storm Candle in the window, storm outside Come on in, you don't have to hide Bring your wet shoes, bring your tired There's a chair by the flame and a song by the fire Candle in the window, storm outside I kept the light, I kept it bright I kept the light I kept it bright
