Now that you're gone

I'm trying not to cry

and I'm asking my walls

why our love had to die

wise people say time

will heal every wound - someday



Well, I tried to be a good guy

tried harder day by day

but on this bed of roses

the fire - the wire didn't stay



Like a candle out in the rain

on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain

our fading love - we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain



Maybe we should have tried

a little bit more

and maybe we had a dream

worth fighting for

but it's been taken away

the winds of change blew so fast

and passion didn't last

 

Well, I tried to be a good guy

tried harder day by day

but on this bed of roses

the fire - the wire didn't stay



Like a candle out in the rain

on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain

our fading love - we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain



When at night the winds blew cold

we used to lie awake and hold

each other tight but these days are gone forever

forever now



Like a candle out in the rain

on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain

our fading love - we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain
