John Smith - Candle Lyrics

It took me a while to see the change
Though it appeared as if from nowhere
I hadn't a way to recognise it
Knew not of the cross we had to bear

Are you setting a fire, my loving vandal
I see you are heading for a fall
What if it's more than you can handle
All the light spills on the table
And you're burning out
You're burning like a candle

There are days when I find it easy
And there are days I don't find at all
When I reach for the hands that held me
And they're waving at me as I fall

Wearing the burden like a saddle
The weight of the world and nothing more
What if it's more than you can handle
All the light spills on the table
And you're burning out
You're burning like a candle

If I could let the world surround me
Find a way to share the load
Maybe it's more than I can handle
All the light spills on the table
And I'm burning out
I'm burning like a candle
