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."

This is good enough to please even a 67 year old steeped in pure country - and a closet jazz lover! Great!
