Candle Burns
Candle Burns
I'm looking at a candle, burns a flame to meet the sky
I keep the candle laughing, I turn my face to cry
The safety pin returns my smile, I nod a brief hello
While you are building molecules, with your garden hose
My compass lasts forever, these things repressed inside
One feels it almost instantly, unless another's died
It's over, it's done, they've been meeting again
Just please please please, oh don't keep me from begin
I need to hear the colors red and blue, and whisper words
To fly all day and sing a tune, and not hear what I heard
To see you all around me, and to take you by the hand
And lead you to a brand new world, that lately has been banned
We'll build things never built before, and do things never done
And just before it's over, it's really just begun
(these lyrics are from a track that *supposedly* was going to be an intro to "A Day in the Life", entitled "Candle Burns, Peace of Mind". I'm very unconvinced. I can't find reference to them anywhere outside the not-really-Beatles-sounding recording itself, so they don't appear to be copyrighted. - Ken)
Belinda said, "As usual you are great. Sorry to be out of touch. My life is breathless. I remain a big FAN."
Hal McGee said, ""Candle Burns" is tremendous. I've listened to it like six or seven times now. I have it loaded onto my CD walkman for commute listening. It resonates with the character of Eno's Before And After Science and After The Heat, Eno's second collab LP with Cluster -- do you have that one? The words are great. I appreciate this great song and I thank you for using my loops."
