Candle

D                                 
Look at the candle, as it's life 
  Am
is bought,
                           Am6  
as the wick just rolls   over   
Am7   Am
 and   dies;
             Dsus4            D
look at the wax-drops as they cease 
from their goal
        Am              G         
and the game they were playing 
       D
loses its joy
        Am                G       
and the youth which they played in
       D
 runs away....

[Chorus]
D   Am         Em     A
How long will you be gone?

[Verse 2]
D                             
Flames sucks at air now and its 
               Am
breath comes short

             Am6  Am7     Am
as it wavers to half its size;
              Dsus4     D
vacuum closes in and it attacks the 
soul.
        Am           G            
Now the force omnipotent itself is
      D
 destroyed
        Am           G        
and for lack of itself it wanes 
    D
away....

[Chorus]
D   Am        Em     A
How long will you be gone?

[Verse 3]
D                                 
So does my mind fly as I fight my 
Am
thought -
                Am6  Am7 Am
and I lose, for I cannot find:
              Dsus4              D
sent my eyes long miles, they do not
 know home!
        Am         G              
For the life I was part of 
      D
breathes its last
             Am        G          
and not only life, but hope has 
     D
gone away....

[Chorus]
D   Am        Em     A
How long will you be gone?
D   Am        Em     A
How long will you be gone?
D    Am        Em     A      D
How long will you be gone?
