lyrics

There's a candle on the table
the wind don't blow it out
there's a panther come a-stalking
when all your luck's run out

sometimes my true love
she's a black cat crossing my road
sometimes an angel or a swan
love can save you at sunset
but it can cut you at dawn

there's a candle on the table
my love she's not blown out
the wind now feels cold my dear
but it's blowing from the south

the panther keeps on coming near
to our filthy little town
when she's gone they'll wear a death mask
and a dollar for a crown

I went down to the river
in the woods outside of town
I saw one Pretty Polly after another
come floating on down

there is evil and there's love my dear
and there's this world in between
there are things there in the forest
we have known and we have seen

there's a train that blows its whistle
weeds and thistles come in May
Love will keep us in the garden
when there's Fire on the lake

Yeah, Love will keep us in the garden
when there's Fire on the lake
