Story Behind the Song:
Lyrics

Five o'clock Tuesday/just a regular day/when daddy got yelling/yeah momma would say/go to your room son, you don't want to see this child/she said it was important that I could see/it had nothing to do with me/but I'm here anyway

And now my daddy's leaving in the blue lights/and momma lights a candle by my bedside

But it's dark here in the dungeon/ in the candlelight/we cry tonight/the love was broken/and no one could forget the moment/in the candlelight/run away tonight/and don't come back

But daddy came back home again/momma started yelling, screaming and then/she said, honey baby boy/I think it's time I should leave/but daddy screamed, honey please just stay/I can't live without you babe/but she'd heard it before

And now my momma's leaving in the moonlight/and daddy lights a candle by my bedside
