The Candle - Roger Whittaker

Hold your face a little closer to the candle

I wanna see you here by the light

I’ve been lost and it’s more than I can handle

I’ve been afraid for my very life

They try to find me but I was always missing

They try to hurt me but they found me to hard

They try to perswade me but I wouldn’t listen

They try to degrade me but I was on my god

Hold your face a little closer to the candle

I wanna see you here by the light

I’ve been lost and it’s more than I can handle

I’ve been afraid for my very life

One for the children, crying in the wilderness

One for the father broken on the weal

Shane by his happiness and hell by the wonder

And ready to compromise make another deal

Hold your face a little closer to the candle

I wanna see you here by the light

I’ve been lost and it’s more than I can handle

I’ve been afraid for my very life

The time has come now and we can see now the candle shining

The has come now, yes, we can breath now, the sun is shining

Hold your face a little closer to the candle

I wanna see you here by the light

I’ve been lost and it’s more than I can handle

I’ve been afraid for my very life

The heart going tap by tap

The mighty use of stand ions

Spurn in the ether and ready to fly

Let you in bosom easy pray for religion

The hand on the white stick, go blindly to blind

Hold your face a little closer to the candle

I wanna see you here by the light

I’ve been lost and it’s more than I can handle

I’ve been afraid for my very life

Hold your face a little closer to the candle

I wanna see you here by the light

I’ve been lost and it’s more than I can handle

I’ve been afraid for my very life

Hold your face a little closer to the candle

I wanna see you here by the light

I’ve been lost and it’s more than I can handle

I’ve been afraid for my very life…
