A candle to night

Another original piece by Jon Barker (me) I felt peace, and at ease when she lay next to me But its grief, when ladies say its just sex to me You see this exstacy feeling's left, its gone I would sit, sat appeased, set free hearing our songs Another night maybe three of them drifting away I play the radio waiting, never hearing what's on My mind can wander, where it ends up is certain To be worth remembering, til then its a burden I've been squirming and working my way towards freedom But since she's been gone its just me and the ceiling Life is stealing away, I could keel over dead But one thing will remain, how I feel in my head With my heart, with my life, she's a candle to night And I blocked out the breeze with all of my might It was a fight to keep tears suppressed from streaming As I used to seem stronger, it was all misleading Can't see stores or shops the way we used to... (used to?) I'd rather just sit here and strum just like Muse do Too few... too few times and chances Not enough romances last the way ours tried to Far too many die too quickly before The first dance of marriage on a wedding floor The setting of the sun, its conclusion The journey's appeal is nothing more than a thought Life is stealing away, I could keel over dead But one thing will remain, how I feel in my head With my heart, with my life, she's a candle to night And I blocked out the breeze with all of my might
