lyrics

in the underwater caves of mind hides
the candle’s flame of the soul
And though I’ve never seen it
I know I hold it like a surprise rose
Behind my back for some one true love
I wait my whole life for her return
Lost like a seed in the sand
With the rose in my hand, the candle burns

Wind over leaves, wind over ash
Sometimes there’s nothing for it but to laugh.

Laugh as the long white limo passes you by
Laugh as the evergreen turns ochre and dies
Laugh as the sure thing the sure thing the sure thing
Becomes a question you can never get right.

And in that darkness of doubt
When you’re alone and all inside out
Remember that little light inside
it never goes away, it just hides.
