Candle - Mystery Jets

Now through the darkness

I have become

The very thing from which

I have always tried to run

And in the past, well

What’s done is done

You can revisit it now

But my heart will never be one

One thing’s for sure

You are what you ignore

Think I hear the future banging

Down upon your door

I used to think that

Through thick and thin

There would always be a place

From which you could begin

Was that the time to stop or carry on regardless?

I always heard you saying that

It’s better to light a candle

Than to curse the darkness

In the almost silence

I thought I heard

The universe conspiring

With your every word

And on the TV

Working back for more

Still in 1989

You threw his stuff out on the lawn

Was that the time to stop or carry on regardless?

I always heard you saying that

It’s better to light a candle

Than to curse the darkness
