Black Candles

	(*Kae Sun)
	On the corner where little Nathan got swept away
	We lit black candles, people stood in a circle;
	They had pictures , him with his kinfolk;
	I read every line of his poetry.
	On that street I couldn’t gather my thoughts at all;
	Can’t say I felt sorry, yet sorrow shook my concrete walls
	Now is he gone for good? We lay him down way too deep;
	I’m hearing echoes of his favorite song, I hear it in my sleep.
	How can we grow old, when we burning slow
	Can we grow old when we burning slow
	These friends of mine, they never read the signs
	I say they going the wrong way;
	They had me accused, they say I take myths to be true
	When I say theres only one way;
	And when bloodstained hands leave death marks on your pages
	When you got no new leaf to turn over, turn over, turn over
	How can we grow old, when we burning slow
	Can we grow old, when we burning slow
	Can we grow old, when we burning slow
	On the corner watching our future drift away
	We lit black candles, we lit black candles.
