Gerrit Welmers - Candles lyrics

Soften your penitence It's not your fate Release the weight Of shouldering after-thoughts Of watching them fade Oh I can relate But deciding your innocence It's not mine to make You're not mine to save You're not mine… Where does it go? Where does it go? This one, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Don't deserve the hurt you're going through Let me take it from you Where does it go? Where does it go? This time, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Don't deserve the pain you're going through Let me take it away You flicker so gently Yet light up the hall We dance on the walls As shadows flee after you The great and the small You better us all You better us… Where does it go? Where does it go? This time, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Don't deserve the hurt you're going through Let me take it away Where does it go? It comes and goes This time, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Don't deserve the pain you're going through You shined a light for me Reflecting light for you I'm too far to save So let me take your pain Let me take it from you Let me take it away Where does it go? Where does it go? This time, for the last time Baby, I know A little candle like you Gave me the strength that pulled me through Now let me take it from you This sadness from you
