I light a candle in the depth of night To beckon back the memories, so faint and dear Let this night take you in its cold embrace Spirit you to where time stands still Close your eyes and don’t ask why This pouring rain yet falls for us Hushed are the words that rang Throughout every hall I walked Ashen faces, buried names You are all that anchors me here Let this night take you in its cold embrace Spirit you to where time stands still Close your eyes and don’t ask why This pouring rain yet falls for us Frost bows to new earth, to sun, On the endless march of time Seasons change, as do we Release the fragments of the past Speak no more of deeds long gone Feelings past, no need to stay Ghosts may call me from the fog But your hands will find me in the dark
