Looking for a light but there's none to be found
I can see the cries but I can't hear a sound
Praying that the day will never come to pass
If you wish it all away it'll all come by too fast
I am not the one who'll know what to say
If I can't find the words, it feels a lie to pray
Feel the rush of loss coming through the air
I don't know where you are but someday I'll meet you there
So I'll take the candle to bed tonight
Cause I just can't sleep without a light nearby
And if this whole thing burns down, as it might
I don't swear I'll fight
I won't say I'm right, that's not to be known
I'm just trying to fight, hoping to grow old
But if you wave goodbye, I won't tell a soul
When there's nothing to be learned, there's nothing to be told
So I'll take the candle to bed tonight
Cause I just can't sleep without a light nearby
And if this whole thing burns down, as it might
I don't swear I'll fight
