I tried to do all that I can
But the churches have run out of candles
I tried to give you all I own
But the bankers have run out of loaners

It´s always just that little bit more
That doesn´t get you what you´re looking for

I tried to block the cabin door
But the churches have run out of candles
I tried to lend a helping hand
But the rooms have all run out of pamphlets
I tried to cook it up and turn
The kitchen has run out of canned bits

It´s always just that little bit more
That doesn´t get you what you´re looking for

I tried a beggin on the cabin floor
But the churches have run out of candles
Turn one day in the cathedral
I finally lit you a candle
And all along the vaulted halls
The virgins did smile from their mantles

It´s always just that little bit more
That doesn´t get you what you´re looking for
But gets you where you need to go
But the churches have run out of candles

It´s always just that little bit more
That doesn´t get you what you´re looking for
But gets you where you need to go
But the churches have run out of candles

It´s always just that little bit more
That doesn´t get you what you´re looking for
But gets you where you need to go
But the churches have run out of candles
