Chantal Kreviazuk Kerosene Lamp song lyrics

Have you seen a flame when it comes to life?

It was always waitin', it just needed a strike

Have you got a match? 'Cause I'm lookin' to be lit

Open up your stash, I'm a kerosene lamp

I thought I told you I would need

More than your average affection

So, why?

Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?

It just isn't right, oh, why should I be cold?

I'm too cold

Across this moonlit room, I see the silhouette of a man

Sleepin' all alone on the edge of the bed

But I am right here, are you really that tired?

Now, would it be so hard to come to my side?

Oh, I thought I told you that I would need

More than just sometime attention

Why?

Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?

It just isn't right, oh, why should I be cold?

Yeah, I'm too cold

Has it been too long, am I just an old shoe?

When the trends are all gone, am I your go-to?

What did you see when you brought me in from the storm?

Our bed used to be so warm

So, why?

Tell me, why should I ever be cold in the night?

It just isn't right, oh, why should I be cold?

Yeah, it's too cold

Why should I ever be cold?

Never be cold
