Put a candle in the window,
'Cause I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm going, going,
I'll be coming home soon,
Long as I can see the light.

Pack my bag and let's get movin',
'Cause I'm bound to drift a while.
When I'm gone, gone,
You don't have to worry long,
Long as I can see the light.

Guess I've got that old trav'lin' bone,
'Cause this feelin' won't leave me alone.
But I won't, won't
Be losin' my way, no, no,
Long as I can see the light.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh, yeah!

Put a candle in the window,
'Cause I feel I've got to move.
Though I'm going, going,
I'll be coming home soon,
Long as I can see the light,
Long as I can see the light,
Long as I can see the light,
Long as I can see the light,
Long as I can see the light...

I don't understand why Tomansi gets down votes for this comment. Whats up with that?


It's obvious. Tomansi's rating is too low.  RP = at least a 9. I'll be a faithful listener for "as long as I can see the light".

Last I checked he was from America and can talk any way he pleases.  Also, I'm not so sure he's sporting a southern accent as his family hails from the mid-west/west.  CCR certainly did like southern iconography in their music, but it doesn't make them "fake" in any way.  The Band did too, and they're from Canada.

That's some strange NorCal tribalism you got workin'.  
 
Levon Helm was from Arkansas

I always thought they were from the south because of Fogerty's singing and sometime-southern accent. Then I found out he was from the East Bay (El Cerrito, CA). Fake accent. Weird. I'm from near there, and we don't talk like that. {#Stupid}

Would be a great segue to "Beginning to See the Light"

That was a lovely transition from a Creedence cover to the REAL DEAL!

What a string of memorable songs CCR put out in a relatively short period of time.

"S'alright, I'm from the same place as Mick Jagger and we don't talk like that either.

Superb. Joyful, defiantly upbeat melancholy.

The Mavis Staples -> CCR segue has been in rotation as long as I can remember, but I still love it!  Hopefully the Blind Boys song gets prepended permanently... it works perfectly as well.

Fantastic fucking song. Reminds me of my time as a tramp.

First and yes, my Hinterlands friend, my grammar is still questionable.  This is a great number from way before my time.
