TALES OF LONG AGO (Candles)

© 1998 Rebels 'N' Renegades

I watch the morning light
Through the window where I lie in my slumber
I thought to wonder why
It took so long a time to discover

Each time I tried to love you
Each time you turned away
It was just like burning candles in the wind
When each time I close my eyes
The tales are realized and I remember

I fell back to a dream
My world of make believe and I touched you
Was it winter was it fall
You see now I don't recall when I left you

It was hard to find the answers
It was hard to let you go
I was only burning candles in the wind
There are things I'll never know
From tales of long ago that I remember

BRIDGE
I knew that there were rivers
And mountains yet to cross
I knew we were borrowing time

I felt a chilling wind
And closed my eyes again to discover
As I wrestled with my mind
And the years I left behind I recovered

By the time you tried to love me
By the time you'd given in
By then the burning candle flickered out
So I set out on my own
From tales of long ago that I remember

Through the years that I have known
From tales of long ago I remember
