Hold A Candle Songtext
von Semler

Loyalty to a losing cause is fool-hard stubbornness
Sam told me I should use my mind and my cell phone a little less
Cause I lost time and money
On a Florida honey who was right-wing religious
What is wrong with me to be this keen on someone so careless?

Bless my soul
She′ll never bring me home
Hopes and dreams
She'd rather do alone
And I′ll just fold
Cause I don't gamble
So you have fun
And I'll hold a candle
I′ll hold a candle


When my mom asks me why you don′t come around that much
And my closest friends scratch their heads that we are still in touch
Cause I will give you a light at the end of the night
And watch you leave with him
I'm a shelter pet that you regret
Doe eyed and sad as sin

Bless my soul
She′ll never bring me home
Hopes and dreams
She'd rather do alone
And I′ll just fold
Cause I don't gamble
So you have fun
And I′ll hold a candle

And the wax will burn my knuckles 'til their red
And I'll think about the words Sammy said
I was meant for more than blistered fingers and cold feet
For someone to be proudly seen with me


Bless my soul
She′ll never bring me home
Hopes and dreams
She′d rather do alone
And I'll just fold
Cause I don′t gamble
So you have fun
And I'll hold a candle
I′ll hold a candle
