| [00:19.090] |
Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well |
| [00:25.090] |
He was alone into his distance |
| [00:27.980] |
He was deep into his well |
| [00:32.250] |
I could guess what he was laughing at, but I couldn't really tell |
| [00:38.560] |
Now the story's told that Adam jumped, but I've been thinking that he fell |
| [00:49.410] |
Together we went traveling, as we received the call |
| [00:55.060] |
His destination India, and I had none at all |
| [01:02.750] |
Well, I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall |
| [01:08.380] |
So free of fear, we never thought that one of us might fall |
| [01:16.620] |
I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way |
| [01:27.380] |
Now this story unfolds before my candle |
| [01:33.170] |
Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day |
| [01:39.150] |
But I feel just like a candle in the way |
| [01:44.690] |
I guess I'll get there, but I wouldn't say for sure |
| [02:03.430] |
When we parted we were laughing still, as our goodbyes were said |
| [02:09.220] |
And I never heard from him again as each our lives we led |
| [02:16.950] |
Except for once in someone else's letter that I read |
| [02:22.900] |
Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead |
| [02:31.310] |
I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the way |
| [02:42.280] |
Now this journey appears before my candle |
| [02:48.180] |
As a song that's growing fainter the harder that I play |
| [02:54.320] |
But I fear before I end I'll fade away |
| [02:59.430] |
But I guess I'll get there, though I wouldn't say for sure |
| [03:24.590] |
Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long |
| [03:30.630] |
And when I stood myself beside him, I never though I was as strong |
| [03:37.960] |
Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song |
| [03:43.860] |
Well I'm not the one to say I know, but I'm hoping he was wrong |
| [03:52.080] |
I'm holding out my only candle, though it's so little light to find my way |
| [04:02.970] |
Now this story's been laid beneath my candle |
| [04:08.570] |
And it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day |
| [04:14.790] |
Yes, I feel just like a candle in the way |
| [04:19.710] |
I hope I'll get there, but I never pray |
| [04:49.390] |
