By the Time the Candle Burns

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
