Oh light a candle's fire
Carries a good name
What would you ask a camp fire?
It scares me just the same
And you, you had it all along
An endless need for games
Just don't forget a candle's fire
Is only just a flame
I, it's certain from a far
Failed to pull my weight
But you were light
You travelled through the fog
To arrive at our frontgate
Tonight we rest beside the fire
A smile upon your face
Just don't forget a candle's fire
Is only just a flame
If I had known not to carry on that way
It wouldn't show
In the creases of your face
If you should go
Would you carry on my name?
Just let it blow
In the fog on Bishop's Lane
