Amos, Tori - Candle: Coventry Carol Lyrics






Candle Candle
Are the children safe now?
Unlike they were long ago,
Candle Candle
are the children safe now?
Sing their song of long ago

Candle Candle
are the children safe now?
Unlike we were long ago,
Candle Candle
Guide us and protect us
from those in Darkness
from those in Darkness

Lully, Lulla
Thou little tiny child
By, by, lully lullay
Thou little tiny child
By, By, Lully Lullay

Oh sisters too how may we do
for to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom
We do sing
By, By, lully lullay

    BEAUTIFUL VERSION This version is very deep as all Tory Amous´songs

  2. T.... s....

    Tori's niece sounds like Tori from the the 90's lol:)

  3. w.... ....

    At first I had no clue what this was about until I heard the part about King Herod. Then I knew. This is a heartbreaking song.

  4. K.... B....

    So beautiful, especially the 'Candle' sections with that gorgeous brass band behind Tori's gossamer vocals.

  5. S.... O....

    @edda1972 Acute or obtuse?

  10. p.... ....

    This is my favorite version of this song and the video is perfect. Simple and pretty.

  11. M.... ....

    I love her interpretation from coventry carol!!! She´s brilliant- and of course the song ist brilliant!

  12. S.... ....

    Just out of this world!!!!

  13. t.... ....

    @goodnightanomaly i think this song is always a shock, at least to me. we forget how those mothers in bethlehem must have felt after herod's men got through.

  14. E.... G....

    I find addition of "all the children are safe now, unlike they were long ago" interesting. Every time I hear Coventry Carol I always have a hard time with the lyrics. Somehow I end up in those mother's shoes. I always think of how to overcome that.

  15. I.... S....

    Yeah, I thought this was all her vocal, too. I was thinking then, wow... she has put some vibrato at the end... great! But then, you can hear a different timbre in the voice that is not Tori's... though, it is very similar... so, it is easily confused. Still great though!

    I.... S....

    she sings with her daughter

    I.... S....

    sorry not this song is with her niece

  16. A.... M....

    I LOVE CONVENTRE CAROL

  17. i.... ....

    oh shit that's not all her!! it's her niece...how did i get so confused?

  18. i.... ....

    i think this is her BEST VOCAL EVER. period.

  19. P.... R....

    Agreed, her version of Coventry Carol is unbelievable!

  20. A.... G....

    Coventry Carol = <3
