    Lyrics
    CANDLE IN THE WINDOW
    For Christine and Henry

    Candle flickers in the window
    Its flame is burning low
    She finds herself in the fading light
    Another night alone
    She strikes the match, but it wavers
    In her cold and trembling hands
    How the loneliness still hurts so much
    She fears she'll never understand

    She keeps the candle in the window
    A softened burning glow
    A symbol of devoted love
    To light his way back home
    She thinks of all the weary miles
    That endless stretch of road
    And wraps herself in a cloud of memories
    And awaits the coming dawn

    Come and take me away
    Through the echoes of my mind
    Into the shadow lands of time
    Where we'll be together
    For there's nothing I won't do
    To share my life with you
    Together forever

    She reaches out to touch the gift
    He gave her long ago
    How could he know
    Their lives would change
    The road become his home
    Bands of gold, circles of love
    Catch dawn's early shadowed light
    A fallen tear, one whispered prayer
    Oh, let him be all right
    She cries...

    I'm coming home (waiting for you)
    Soon it'll be all right (take me away)
    Keep the candle burning bright
    I'll make my way to you (take me)
    Through the darkness of the night

    Come, I'll take you away
    Through the echoes of our mind
    Into the shadow lands of time
    Where we'll be together
    And there's nothing I won't do
    'Cause I'll always love you
    Endless and always
