Candle in the Rain - Rough Silk

Now that you’re gone

I’m trying not to cry

And I’m asking my walls

Why our love had to die

Wise people say time

Will heal every wound — someday

Well, I tried to be a good guy

Tried harder day by day

But on this bed of roses

The fire — the wire didn’t stay

Like a candle out in the rain

On the wings of a prayer we’ve been hiding our pain

Our fading love — we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain

Maybe we should have tried

A little bit more

And maybe we had a dream

Worth fighting for

But it’s been taken away

The winds of change blew so fast

And passion didn’t last

Well, I tried to be a good guy

Tried harder day by day

But on this bed of roses

The fire — the wire didn’t stay

Like a candle out in the rain

On the wings of a prayer we’ve been hiding our pain

Our fading love — we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain

When at night the winds blew cold

We used to lie awake and hold

Each other tight but these days are gone forever

Forever now

Like a candle out in the rain

On the wings of a prayer we’ve been hiding our pain

Our fading love — we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain
