Sister Hazel - Ten Candle Days lyrics

[Verse 1] Daddy was a hard man, worked coal all his life Dollar a day which kept us alive So we headed west bound, we came of age Fortunes to be found, and mistakes I claimed [Chorus] Singing ah, ale-ale-alah And when I die, won't you lay me on down by Rowing forth river near the old aspen road Spend all these days searching these mountains for silver Ten candle days will be gone for too long [Verse 2] So we found us a new town, to work in the cracks We're thanking the Lord now, for strengthening our backs With pick ax and powder, a quick prayer to God A candle an hour, for each one on the job We learned fast from these measures, and waiting gets old Find the woman you treasure, you could love nothing more The Summer it seems, blessed us with a child A pa**ive of changing, with pressure in town [Chorus] Singing ah,ale-ale-alah When I die, won't you lay me on down by Rowing forth river near the old asphen road Spend all these days searching these mountains for silver Ten candle days will be gone for too long Shine on, shine On These ten candle days shine on Shine on, shine On When the lights from down low We'll be coming home [Verse 3] My brothers are gone now, blacks out fresh I Guess what you take now, you gotta give back Lonely prospector, last of my kind Sole protector, of this silver mine [Chorus] Singing ah,ale-ale-alah When I die, won't you lay me on down by Rowing forth river near the old asphen road Spend all these days searching these mountains for silver Ten candle days will be gone for too long Shine on, shine On These ten candle days shine on Shine on, shine On When the lights from down low We'll be coming home
