Gone, just as lonely as before
There′s his smoke against the ceiling
And his ashes on the floor
Gone golden genie in the blaze of a thousand sorries
Ashes and smoke are all that's staying
They′ll soon be going
With the sad winds blowin'
Dark, strike a match and light a candle
Candles always look so hopeful
But it's more than I can handle
Dark, strike a match and light a candle
Candles always look so hopeful
But it′s more than I can handle
Cry for a river from the sun
It′s just as easy
Flame on the candle's almost done
It′ll soon be going
With the sad winds blowin'
Times, just a senseless lot of ticking
She′s the master of our people
Ah, if that's good enough for you, I don′t know?
