My Candle Burns lyrics

You cried last night in your sleep Close my arms 'round you when you weep Archangel on wings of the night Keeps you safe 'til the kiss of the light The hour is dark before the dawn And so the lull before the storm A world full of people alone But I found a love of my own My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night But ah my foes and oh my friends It gives a lovely light Soft voices whispering to me From the sad heaving breast of the sea As I stand in a pale light again A moth clinging desperately to his flame The hour is dark before the dawn And so the lull before the storm A world full of people alone I cling to a flame of my own My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night But ah my foes and oh my friends It gives a lovely light
