The Weepies have a song named ‘Lighting Candles’ which hit me in a new way this very weekend.
I’ve spent years and continue to find myself lighting candles in the dark.
I couldn’t find their song on YouTube to share, but have written out the words below. I relate.
For me it is possibly the hunger, the not being satisfied that buoys me forward. Some days I need a strong wind to help me along.
Maybe a train to city lights. It gets dark in the country.
LIGHTING CANDLES
Trying not to hope too hard
For what I want
Trying not to go too far
With all the dreaming
All the disappointment
So hard to handle
I am still in the dark
Lighting candles
Late at night I Lie awake
Think I should go
Catch a train to stranger towns
Where no one knows me
All the disappointment
So hard to handle
I am still in the dark
Lighting candles
All the company you keep
The things you do
Something in my heart
Will not give up on you
Now that I have got somewhere
Where will I go
Love’s a train to city lights
Where someone knows you
All the disappointment
So hard to handle
I am still in the dark
Lighting candles
I am still in the dark
Lighting candles
