I held the flame as long as I could
Through winds and storms, I thought I would
But every fire learns to die
Every dream meets the sky

I spoke of love, I spoke of fear
The words still ring, but no one hears
A thousand hands I let slip through
Now all that’s left is me and you

If I could stay, I’d hold you tight
But the road calls me into the night
Don’t cry for me, just let it be
The last light fades, but you are free
