An old woman once told me

she'd always felt that way

She said Taken from the mold

when it can still run
She said Taken from the mold

when it can still run
But buy another candle, son,

it's not too much to pay
INSTRUMENTAL
mock me ifl stay, but

Buy another coffee, Stan,

it's not too much to pay.
And we will try
to raise your smile

Before you

walk away.
Tonight in a room full of candles

another cup of ashes drains away

And, at times,

it gets so hard to handle
another cup of ashes drains away

And, at times,

it gets so hard to handle
it gets so hard to handle
Knowing one more song
has swiftly taken wing

And I'm left alone to hear

the song a lonely candle sings.
And I'm left alone to hear

the song a lonely candle sings.
INSTRUMENTAL
He cleared his throat a lot.

But framed in stained glass windows

his eyes were lost in thought.
And buy another candle son,

before you start to pray
Tonight, in a room full of candles,
another cup of madness drains away
And at times it gets

so hard to handle
another cup of madness drains away

And at times it gets

so hard to handle
And at times it gets

so hard to handle
Knowing one more simple song
has swiftly taken wing.

And I'm left alone to hear

the song a lonely candle sings.
And I'm left alone to hear

the song a lonely candle sings.
INSTRUMENTAL
slowly burning down

And the final cup of coffee

was cold and full of grounds
might send the words around

Still, underneath my hand

this night has slipped away
Still, underneath my hand

this night has slipped away
One more candle flickers out,

the night is turning grey
Tonightl have burned all my candles

Leaving only ashes in their wake
Leaving only ashes in their wake
And at times, I get so hard to handle
'Cause simple songs

leave me behind,

they all have taken wing
