Light the candles, brother
I can hear the horses getting closer
And I'll be there to meet you Diane
I'll be there to meet you, Diane
And we'll work through the winter
There's no panthers in this cold
And I'll be there to meet you Diane
I'll be there to meet you Diane
I've been awake, for a very, very long time
I've been awake, for a very, very long time
Just like my mother
Just like my mother
Just like my mother
Ooh-oh
Go with your father for us
Learn how to help us when he's gone
And I'll be there to meet you Diane
I'll be there to meet you Diane
Walk into the forest
But come back alive
Oh, and I'll be there to meet you Diane
I'll be there to meet you Diane
I've been awake, for a very, very long time
I've been awake, for a very, very long time
Just like my mother
Just like my mother
Just like my mother
Ooh-oh
Just like my mother (I've been awake)
Just like my mother (for a very, very long time)
Just like my mother (I've been awake)
Ooh-oh
