    Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well
  • He was alone in his existence, He was deep into his well
    I could guess what he was laughing at, But I couldn't really tell
    Now the story's told that Adam jumped, But I'm thinking that he fell
  •  
    Together we went traveling, as we received the call
    His destination India, and I had none at all
  • Well I still remember laughing, with our backs against the wall
    So free of fear we never thought, that one of us might fall
     
  • I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way
    Now this story unfolds before my candle
    Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
  • Well I feel just like a candle in a way
    I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say for sure
     
  • When we parted we were laughing still, as our goodbyes were said
    And I never heard from him again, as each our lives we led
    except for once in someone else's letter that I read
  • Until I head the sudden word, that a friend of mine was dead
     
    I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the way
  • Now this journey appears before my candle
    as a song that's growing fainter, the harder I play
    well I fear before I am I'll fade away
  • But I guess I'll get there, though I wouldn't say for sure
     
    Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long
  • And when I stood myself beside him, I never thought I was as strong
    still it seemed he stopped his singing in the middle of his song
    well I'm not the one to say I know but I'm hoping he was wrong
  •  
    I'm holding out my only candle, though it's so little light to find my
    way
  • now this story's been layed beneath my candle
    and it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
    yes I feel just like a candle in a way
  • I hope I'll get there but I'll never pray
  • PLAY TOO ..
