Candle

Evening light casts shadows a little longer now

And the pollen from the trees is scattered about the street

And the colder days are behind now it seems

But I'm not feeling very warm hearted, my love is gone

Was it over before it started, were we both wrong

We can't escape the past and both land on our feet, oh no

It's so hard to blow out the candle, and let those memories rest in peace

 She asked me to travel and follow her around

Well, the water in my well had run dry, figured on the road I could scrape and get by

The colder days were behind us now it seemed

But I'm not feeling very warm hearted, my love is gone

Was it over before it started, were we both wrong

We can't escape the past and both land on our feet, oh no

It's so hard to blow out the candle, and let those memories rest in peace

It's so hard to blow out the candle, and let those memories rest in peace
