I tried to do all that I can
But the churches have run out of candles
I tried to give you all I own
But the bankers have run out of loaners

I tried to cook it up and turn

It's always just that little bit more
That doesn't get you what you’re looking for

But the churches have run out of candles

I finally lit you a candle
And all along the vaulted halls
The virgins did smile from their mantles
It's always just that little bit more
That doesn't get you what you're looking for
But gets you where you need to go
But the churches have run out of candles
It's always just that little bit more
That doesn't get you what you're looking for
But gets you where you need to go
But the churches have run out of candles
It's always just that little bit more
That doesn't get you what you're looking for
But gets you where you need to go
But the churches have run out of candles
Candles was written by Rufus Wainwright.
