From Eyes to Liquor

We hoped the night would never come We called it courage when we walked under the sun Our candles burning bright... long before she left We took comfort in this light The world stood bare before our eyes Every voice we heard was graceful and alive We wouldn't dare to look directly at the sky We prayed the night would never come She left us We never had to know a night without her I've seen a thousand candles scattered cross the night A million faces turned apart I've seen those desperate tears as they fall from eyes to liquor You'll all raise your glass you're so far from home We said goodbye to our mothers We couldn't see the tears that fell as we turned away Our hearts were pounding loud as the sun began to set We never knew how to be alone I've seen a thousand candles scattered 'cross the night A million faces turned apart I've seen those desperate tears as they fall from eyes to liquor You'll all raise your glass you're so far from home We never had to know a night without her
