lyrics

Holding a candle for you

Rosy cheek,
hearth light,
silver eyes
shine bright.
Blink and she’s gone:
one-two-three-one with you.
Lost in a photograph on the shelf,
dancing so gaily all by herself.
No words can break through,
she’s holding a candle for you.

Days have names,
hours chime,
seasons change,
out of time.
Blink and they’re gone.
Summers were long with you.
Holding the past in a fond embrace,
keeping her heart in a distant place.
No words cane break through,
she’s holding a candle for you.

Silent room,
empty chair.
Go to talk,
no-one’s there.
Tell her he’s gone.
She doesn’t want to know,
playing the record she’s played before,
waltzing so lightly across the floor.
No words cane break through,
she’s holding a candle for you.

Tears will fall,
flames will die.
Memories
cloud the eye.
Blink and they’re gone.
