Counting Candles

Kisses in Heaven, French cigarette clouds
Lucky and servants won't ever touch down
Dirty roadside motel, scary doll on the top shelf
Another man who would be hell

Kisses on bourbon, the brakes painted pink
Boys chasing girls who just started to drink
Say you gotta make a pit stop
Weeks pay for a quick job

Stardust on a midnight train
Call you red-handed and they took you away
Never mind, oh daddy, I need you to behave
I'll write your dirty stories and the cards will be paid
Just wait until your birthday, there's a key in the gate
And I'll keep counting candles however long it takes
I'll wait, yes, I will

Kisses in color, our hearts ain't afraid
Sleep through the weather, survive like this day
On the lace of my nightgown, I gotta hope it won't be long now
Say I meet you at the courthouse

Stardust on the midnight train
Call you red-handed and they took you away
Never mind, oh daddy, I need you to behave
I'll write your dirty stories and the cards will be paid
Just wait until your birthday, there's a key in the game
And I'll keep counting candles however long it takes
I'll wait, yes, I will

(Oh)
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)

The flame is burning stronger, I'll be up there (oh)
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you, I'll wait (oh)
The flowers that you let me have enjoyed (oh)
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you, I'll wait

A brunet
