Candle

Her little man is 4 years old

Looks like his father so he's been told

But he wouldn't know it, he ain't never seen him around

Life has been cold, it treats her unkind

But she'll keep on searching until she can find

Something she can cling to when the rain comes down

A candle just won't light in the pouring rain

The pressures of this life are driving her insane yeah

Now given the chance she knows she can shine

But she's so tied down that she ain't got the time

A candle just won't light in the pouring rain

She was so young, had to quit school

Grew up too fast now she's nobody's fool

No time for dreamin' life just kinda leads her around 9 to 5 world leaves nowhere to grow

She'd spread her wings but there's nowhere to go

Her tiny flame is no match for the rain coming down

A candle just won't light in the pouring rain

The pressures of this life are driving her insane (yeah)

Now given the chance she knows she can shine

But she's so tied down that she ain't got the time

A candle just won't light in the pouring rain
