Candle

LETRA

Candle

Her little man
Is four years old
Looks like his father
So he's been told
But he wouldn't know
He ain't never
Seen him around

Life has been cruel
He treats her unkind
She'll keep on searchin'
Until she can find
Somethin' she can cling to
When the rain comes down

A candle just won't light
In the pourin' rain
The pressures of this life
Were drivin' her insane, yeah
Now given the chance
She knows she can shine
But she's so tied down
She ain't got the time
Candle just won't light
In the pourin' rain

She was so young
Had to quit school
Grew up too fast
Now, she's nobody's fool
No time to dream
Life just kinda
Leads her around
Nine to five world
leaves no room to grow
She'd spread her wings
But there's nowhere to go
Her tiny flame is no match
For the rain comin' down

A candle just won't light
In the pourin' rain
The pressures of this life
Drivin' her insane, yeah
Now, given the chance
She knows she can shine
But she's so tied down
She ain't got the time
A candle just won't light
In the pourin' rain
