A candle's fire

Oh light a candle´s fire, carries our good name
What would you ask a campfire
It scares me just the same
And you, you´ve had it all along, an endless need for games
Just don´t forget a candle´s fire is only just a flame
I, it´s certain from afar, have failed to pull my weight
But you were light, we traveled through the fall, to arrive at our front gate
Tonight we rest beside the fire, a smile upon your face
Just don´t forget a candle´s fire is only just a flame
If I had known not to carry on that way,
It wouldn´t show in the creases of your face
If you should go but you carry on my name
Just let it blow, in the fog on Bishop´s lane
What would you ask a campfire
It scares me just the same
And you, you´ve had it all along, an endless need for games
Just don´t forget a candle´s fire is only just a flame
I, it´s certain from afar, have failed to pull my weight
But you were light, we traveled through the fall, to arrive at our front gate
Tonight we rest beside the fire, a smile upon your face
Just don´t forget a candle´s fire is only just a flame
If I had known not to carry on that way,
It wouldn´t show in the creases of your face
If you should go but you carry on my name
Just let it blow, in the fog on Bishop´s lane
