lyrics

Three candles
Roger vocal and guitars

Three candles burning three holes in the night
Good to know some things are still in black and white
Three candles burn, making light of the storm
It’s good to be in here with you where its safe and warm
The more the wind blows, the more I’m resigned
The candles burn, melting Time

Three candles carve out a cave in the dark
I wonder if we’ll ever leave any marks
ood to be here with you looking back
I wonder have we ever been on the right track?
The more that I learn the less I seem to know
The candles burn, like melting snow

Three candles burning all night till its dawn
Remember me when the lines are drawn
Shadows and ghosts and dark silhouettes
Loom over breathing down the backs of our necks
And the more the storm howls all hell’s breaking loose
In the early hours the sun will break through

Three candles burning till it’s time to depart
There’ll always be a space for you my heart
One burns for the future, one burns up the past
One lights this moment, I wish it would last
One lights this moment
One lights this moment
