I am a candle br Burning bright br Beneath lovers lips br Blown out at night br br I’m stored away br While love goes home br Like prisoners, we br remain alone br br I used to be so tall br But now I am quite small br My dreams once lit up buildings br Yet some nights they barely crawl br br My flame flickers faster now br As I’m kept crying at our door br And soon I know the night will come br When I shall burn br br no morebr br Alison Mary Dunnbr br
