jane ehrhardt - burning candles lyrics
lying on a borrowed bed, can i get a moment, rest (in this long struggle forward)? i see traces of your hard, hard work trails of paper, an empty fridge (lines and shadows of where you once were). how many times has your heart been broken? if i touch your hand, could i feel to count? if i spend the night here, might i find the reason, could i burn your candles while you’re out? while you’re out…burning candles, empty fridge, like wounded soldiers, we won’t give in. and on the other side of town tonight the channels won’t come in. burning candles, empty fridge. came to this world on fragile ground, wanting more and having less (sometimes less the more than enough). now your faces stare and ask of me, ‘where will we go, what shall we see (when we get there, if we get there, if it’s still there). and the sun beats down on all our cheap possessions, in my hometown, where f was born and raised. a little further down is where we all are headed, i will save your places and hold up your names. i will hold up your names… when we get there, if we get there, if it’s still there when we get there…
