Candle And The Night

Music and lyrics by John Reese

Thru the darkest glass
you can see some light
But 'round the candle flame
you can feel the night

In the worst of times
you can find some love
But in the best of times
still comes the death of the dove

It's the faithful heart
that stands strong in the storm
But those wicked winds can test you
right down to the bone

Still my mind, it seems clear
on how it should be
But my heart finds it hard to follow
until there is need

Thru the darkest glass
you can see some light
But 'round the candle flame
you can feel the night
'Round the candle flame
you can feel the night

We can all see the writing
the writing on the wall
But the words seem to fade into dark
just before the dawn

And you can trust it will be
what it should be,
But those moments of doubt still linger
on the edge of the dream
Yes those moments of doubt still linger
on the edge of the dream

Thru the darkest glass
you can see some light
But 'round the candle flame
you can feel the night
'Round the candle flame
you can feel the night
