A Candle For The Flame

(album: Strictly Solo - 2014)

When I look back on the friends I've made
And think how few of them remain
I would not be ashamed to say
I'm lucky I became
A candle for the flame

Looking back at the money I made
There are those who say I threw it all away
Gone to family and friends
But I would do it again
'Cause it helped me to remain
A candle for the flame

It shone so bright
On my darkest night
I never felt myself alone
And I always believed
That it shined just for me
A light I'd always known
Would guide my way back home

I have tasted the wine of regret
I have wasted the secrets I kept
But I would not be afraid to say
I'm lucky I remained
A candle to the flame
No, I would not be ashamed to say
I'm lucky I became
A candle for the flame
