Candlelight

It’s late at night by candlelight while I’m sitting here at home picking on this old guitar without you in my arms. The lightning flashed and something crashed and all the lights went dim – ain’t it funny how the storm outside is how I feel within. I don’t know how it happened that you up and went away and don’t know how the weather works on any given day. Refrain: And all I know is the wind still blows no matter what I do even when I’m picking on these six strings without you. As my life goes on from song to song while you’re out running free. I’d burn every candle I could find if it would bring you back to me. Every time the light goes out something changes in my mind; the love we had not long ago is drifting down the line. Like a rolling train in a tunnel made inside a mountain high; I feel so lost without you now it feels like I could die. Right here in my sadness and these low down hurting ways; this candle fire lifts me up higher than all these rainy days. Refrain: And all I know is the wind still blows no matter what I do even when I’m picking on these six strings without you. As my life goes on from song to song while you’re out running free. I’d burn every candle I could find if it would bring you back to me. I sure hope that the light returns in my house and in my soul; it’s hard to see right front of me ever since you hit the road. It seems all I have are these memories and melodies and dreams; and every night the lights go out you’re all that I can see. I’m like a blind man in the darkness all my colors turned to gray so I’ll keep this candle burning hoping you’ll come back some day. Refrain: And all I know is the wind still blows no matter what I do even when I’m picking on these six strings without you. As my life goes on from song to song while you’re out running free. I’d burn every candle I could find if it would bring you back to me. As my life goes on from song to song while you’re out running free. I’d burn every candle I could find from now until the end of time if it would bring you back to me.
