I thought I saw a light
And how I needed light
It seemed to smile and beckon
So I followed...

I thought I had a torch
Grasped firmly in my hand
And with it I intended
To ignite a bonfire...

Entrenched in utter blackness
I know the truth;
I never held that torch
I never kissed that flame

I let myself be entombed
By promises enchanted
Now I am left alone
No-- I always was alone.

Until tonight when you
Lit a candle for me.
