A Candle In The Window |
«Hurry through the night |
Past the shuttered houses |
Towards a solitary light |
Burning in a window near a figure in a chair |
Always sitting there |
Quiet as a prayer |
Does he close his eyes? |
Weary with the weight of being suddenly so wise |
Tired of the demons he must sit up there and fight |
Deep into the night |
Praying that he’s right |
Every evening I can see a shadow on the shade |
And I don’t feel so alone or so afraid |
There’s a candle in the window every night |
Reflecting all our hopes and dreams |
Or so it seems to me as I look up to see |
That candle in the window every night |
Burning like the yearning to be free |
Far away and dim |
Kept alive by him |
Seven blocks away |
Before I go to bed I fall down on my knees and pray |
That he will keep his candle burning just a moment more |
Till he finds a way |
This is what I pray |
And I wonder does he see me passing by each night |
As I look up to find his patch of light |
There’s a candle in the window every night |
Reflecting all our hopes and dreams |
Or so it seems to me as I look up to see that |
Candle in the window shining bright |
Burning like the yearning to be free |
Far away and dim |
Kept alive by him |
Hurry through the night |
Towards a solitary light |
