LYRICS:
In a small town down the highway to the coast
Factories and churches laid on dusty gravel roads
This is where they first met such a long time ago
Young lovers wet behind the ears
Foolish and unguarded, falling blindly without fear
Skippin' school and hoppin' fences
Makin' love down by the pier
Love like elements react
Constellations in the black
The lights from the chemical plant
Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp
From a car parked by the ocean, what a vision to behold
The lights from the chemical plant
She says, "My heart is like an orphan and your words are like a home
I do not deserve such kindness as keeps me warm down to my bones
You bear some strange familiar likeness to a man I feel I know"
As if to keep each other safe
They spent the night locked in embrace
The lights from the chemical plant
Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp
When all else seemed unstable, like a watchtower they were there
The lights from the chemical plant
Oh, the years passed by them both not so unkindly
And whenever things got rough, the pain they'd share
But no matter when death comes it is untimely
And she sat next to him and she tried hard to prepare
"Oh can you still see them?
Through the window if you look they are still there
Open up your eyes just once more darlin'
'Cause without you I know I just can't bear ...
The lights from the chemical plant
Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp
I was sure they'd always be there and then one day they were gone
The lights from the chemical plant."
