Candle, Candle from Mongoose by Mead Lake's Most Wanted

Candle, candle burning bright
You snuff the darkness from the night
Now I can see by your dim light
I lit a candle and you smiled

I have wandered across this land
Dipped my toes in Pacific sand
I traveled east without a plan
But to hold your sweet hand

There’s a hope I hold
Before tomorrow we grow old
That you and I will find our home

In the forest, we built our camp
In the mountains, lived off the land
In the oceans, we swam and swam
This earth is wide and I’m your man

We learned to love the smell of coal
Burning as the trains they rolled
We slept beneath the stars so cold
In fields laced with marigold

There’s a hope I hold
Before tomorrow we grow old
That you and I will find our home

In the twilight of our years
At the crossroads of faith and fear
We settled down on wild frontier
You and I, love’s pioneers
