| [00:24.81] |
Though Adam was a friend of mine, |
| [00:28.15] |
I did not know him well |
| [00:30.98] |
He was alone into his distance |
| [00:34.46] |
He was deep into his well |
| [00:39.48] |
I could guess what he was laughing at, |
| [00:42.89] |
But I couldn't really tell |
| [00:46.30] |
Now the story's told that Adam jumped, |
| [00:49.76] |
But I've been thinking that he fell |
| [00:58.65] |
Together we went traveling, |
| [01:01.87] |
As we received the call |
| [01:04.77] |
His destination India, |
| [01:08.38] |
And I had none at all |
| [01:13.00] |
Well, I still remember laughing |
| [01:16.42] |
With our backs against the wall |
| [01:19.73] |
So free of fear, we never thought |
| [01:23.53] |
That one of us might fall |
| [01:27.99] |
I sit before my only candle, |
| [01:33.92] |
But it's so little light to find my way |
| [01:39.95] |
Now this story unfolds before my candle |
| [01:47.12] |
Which is shorter every hour |
| [01:49.98] |
As it reaches for the day |
| [01:54.10] |
But I feel just like a candle in the way |
| [01:59.76] |
I guess I'll get there, but |
| [02:03.98] |
I wouldn't say for sure |
| [02:21.69] |
When we parted we were laughing still, |
| [02:25.00] |
As our goodbyes were said |
| [02:27.91] |
And I never heard from him again |
| [02:31.47] |
As each our lives we led |
| [02:36.45] |
Except for once in someone else's |
| [02:40.06] |
Letter that I read |
| [02:43.37] |
Until I heard the sudden word |
| [02:46.73] |
That a friend of mine was dead |
| [02:52.01] |
I sit before my only candle, |
| [02:57.89] |
Like a pilgrim sits beside the way |
| [03:03.56] |
Now this journey appears before my candle |
| [03:10.33] |
As a song that's growing fainter |
| [03:14.14] |
The harder that I play |
| [03:17.16] |
But I fear before I end I'll fade away |
| [03:22.57] |
But I guess I'll get there, |
| [03:26.98] |
Though I wouldn't say for sure |
| [03:44.55] |
Though Adam was a friend of mine, |
| [03:47.61] |
I did not know him long |
| [03:50.82] |
And when I stood myself beside him, |
| [03:54.23] |
I never though I was as strong |
| [03:59.30] |
Still it seems he stopped his singing |
| [04:02.62] |
In the middle of his song |
| [04:05.78] |
Well I'm not the one to say I know, |
| [04:09.50] |
But I'm hoping he was wrong |
| [04:14.17] |
I'm holding out my only candle, |
| [04:20.18] |
Though it's so little light to find my way |
| [04:26.49] |
Now this story's been laid beneath my candle |
| [04:33.66] |
And it's shorter every hour |
| [04:36.87] |
As it reaches for the day |
| [04:40.18] |
Yes, I feel just like a candle in the way |
| [04:45.90] |
I hope I'll get there, |
| [04:50.21] |
But I never pray |
