The Candle
Music and Lyrics by Michael Bihovsky
I know what they see on the outside
Out in the starlight, and lit by the moon
Silhouette of a man in the window
Lit by a candle, alone in his room
They see me
Outside the light of the candle is only an ember
The fading eclipse of a memory I can’t quite remember…
Maybe I’m the one to take hold
It’s too cold to stand in the rain
Baby, see the game’s old
The players have nothing to gain
Why don’t you let it go?
Why don’t you let me know
Where to go
Who to be
Baby, it’s killing me
Baby, I’ve seen daylight
Seen the stars in your eyes, felt your lips brush my face
Gone walking for miles in the twilight
A perfect illusion I just can’t erase
You were near me...
Candle, burn bright
Just ‘till the world’s out of sight
Bring me light
Go start a fire tonight
By my side
Watch as I hide all my life
Heaven died
The moment the fire took flight
Baby, see me break now
Awake now, but lost in my dreams
Every night I learn how
True beauty is not what it seems
When did the lights burn low?
Why did you turn and go?
I don’t know
Never will
Why you’re not with me still...
Candle, burn bright
Candle burn
Candle burn for me tonight
Candle burn bright
Go light the world tonight
Fly and I’ll follow you
Flicker, and feel
Candle burn bright
When will you ever learn?
Light in the darkness is never for real...
Lost in my doubt
At least ‘till the candle burns out....
