Under the bare bulb of dawn, I was forlorn
Waiting for an ending to come
And your demeanour said it wouldn't be long
You herald the old ghosts that I saw
Circling round your kitchen, marching up to deaths front door
To tell me, there could have been more
Now even the shallowest of wounds are weeping
My fragile family tree can't take another beating, oh boy
Don't tell me that there could have been more
But here I am, holding your candle, with everyone you've ever loved
And no one's going to blow it out
Straight down the path on to dismay
Walking oh so slowly, holding your hand all the way
Tears you thought you'd never replace
And all of the reasons that we make
Scarcely give me solace, just let me see the mark death made
Everything in its right place
But here I am, holding your candle, with everyone you've ever loved
And no one's going to blow it out
