By the time the candle burns
And that old hour hand turns
There won't be sight nor sound of me
By the time the wind has changed
And fallen leaves have rearranged
Many miles between us there will be
By the time the candle burns
And that old hour hand turns
There won't be sight nor sound of me
By the time the train line shakes
And our picture falls and breaks
I'll be riding down that track just wait and see
Yes I'm a man on a mission
I'm long gone and I ain't gone fishin'
As the candle burns
And the hour hand turns
The candle burns babe
The candle burns baby
The candle burns babe
The candle burns baby
The candle burns babe
The candle burns baby
