Brave Combo - Candles Lyrics
Refrain:You, were my hopeYour hope was mineCandles are lowFor the last timeI dont want to look; when I do it saddens meIt saddens me so when I recall their first lightI dont want to turn back to then, for then Ill seeHow quickly they lengthen in line and they multiply(refrain)Once I made a big cake for my father so long agoFor his 50th birthday one year, wouldnt you knowLike cassandra, I read him a chilling prophecyI read him a poem, it was candles and now I grieveSpoken:[days of our future stand before usLike a row of little lighted candlesGolden, warm and lively little candlesThe days gone by remain behind usA mournful line of burnt-out candlesThe nearest ones are still smokingCold candles, melted, and bent](from candles by cavafy)I dont want to look when I do it saddens meIt saddens me so when I recall their first lightI dont want to turn back to then, for then Ill seeHow quickly they lengthen in line, and they multiply.(refrain)
