Peter Hammill - Candle Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Look at the candle, as it's life is bought,
  • as the wick just rolls of and dies;
  • look at the wax-drops as they cease from their goal
  • and the game they were playing loses its joy
  • and the youth which they played in runs away....
  • How long will you be gone?
  • Flames sucks at air now and its breath comes short
  • as it wavers to half its size;
  • vacuum closes in and it attacks the soul.
  • Now the force omnipotent itself is destroyed
  • and for lack of itself it wanes away....
  • How long will you be gone?
  • So does my mind fly as I fight my thought -
  • and I lose, for I cannot find:
  • sent my eyes long miles, they do not know home!
  • For the life I was part of breathes its last
  • and not only life, but hope has gone away....
  • How long will you be gone?
  • How long will you be gone
