Candle Light |
Candle light, candle bright.
I stare into the fire light.
I watch it dance, I watch it prance
And wile away the night.
A flicker in the grow, as the wind blows,
While I sit in sorrow.
There is a chance, maybe perhaps
Joy will come on the morrow.
The candle's colder, the night's older,
but I have grown no bolder.
I'm still alone, for nights unknown,
Wishing I could hold her. |
