Brave Combo - Candles lyrics
Refrain: You, were my hope Your hope was mine Candles are low For the last time I don't want to look; when i do it saddens me It saddens me so when i recall their first light I don't want to turn back to then, for then i'll see How quickly they lengthen in line and they multiply (refrain) Once i made a big cake for my father so long ago For his 50th birthday one year, wouldn't you know Like cassandra, i read him a chilling prophecy I read him a poem, it was 'candles' and now i grieve Spoken: [days of our future stand before us Like a row of little lighted candles Golden, warm and lively little candles The days gone by remain behind us A mournful line of burnt-out candles The nearest ones are still smoking Cold candles, melted, and bent] (from "candles" by cavafy) I don't want to look when i do it saddens me It saddens me so when i recall their first light I don't want to turn back to then, for then i'll see How quickly they lengthen in line, and they multiply. (refrain) |
