Light in the Gutter

By Jeremy Lublin

Chorus

There is light in the gutter and there's love in the grime

There's fire in the ice and there’s sweetness in the brine

For eight days of Hanukkah there's miracles abound

So let's light 'em up 'n with l'chaim drink 'em down

Verse 1

Miracle, a miracle I really need you now

The nights are gettin' longer and my soul is in a drought

But somewhere in the darkness a spark is shinin' bright

With eight days of oil ready to ignite

Chorus

Verse 2

Miracle, a miracle I feel like you are close

The world is gettin' colder yet you haunt me like a ghost

Somewhere in this mausoleum I know the light is on

'Cause I know that it is darkest just before the dawn

Chorus

Verse 3

Miracle, a miracle I'm waitin' on you here

With the lit menorah I know that you'll appear

Even in the shadow, even in the shade

Love and light cut through you like a blade

Chorus
