Stan Rogers - Song of the Candle lyrics
I took up my pen tonight I couldn't seem to write It's like I got religion and then I lost the light An old woman once told she'd always felt that way She said taken from the mold while it still can run A candle might not keep you from the cold But buy another candle son it's not too much to pay For one more time I had to smile before I walked away. Coffee houses bother me I can not tell you why But it never seems hello sounds as sweet as good bye And the waitresses in passing will remember all your names They say look around and try to meet a single eye And empty cups will mock me if I stay But buy another coffee stan now it's not too much to pay And we will try to raise your smile before you walk away. Tonight in a room full of candles Another cup of ashes drains away And at times it gets so hard to handle Knowing one more single song has swiftly taken wing And I'm left alone to hear the song a lonely candle sings. The priest I found was nervous He cleared his throat a lot But framed in stained glass windows his eyes were lost in thought And I said, father can you tell me is some happiness my right He said rather seek your joy the blessing of your god And happiness from worship in his sight And buy another candle son before you start to pray And don't forget to cross your breast before you walk away. Tonight in a room full of candles Another cup of madness drains away And at times it gets so hard to handle Knowing one more single song has swiftly taken wing And i'm left alone to hear the song a lonely candle sings One too many cigarettes slowly burning down The final cup of coffe was cold and full of grounds And maybe one last pipefull might send the words around Still underneath my hands this night has slipped away It leaves me as empty as this page And one more candle flickers out The night is turning grey And I just can't watch the dying flame I have to walk away So tonight I have burned all my candles Leaving only ashes in their wake And at time I get so hard to handle The simple songs leave me behind They all have taken wing And I'm left alone to hear the song a lonely candle sings |
