I lighted you a candle On that day in December Barely light through the window It's been eight years now Thoughts rise above the level That keeps me from crying All these years I've been searching A saving grace A clear white cloud My love passed away In the months so dark and grey Overwhelmed my greatest fears In the light I wrap my tears I hear an organ resounding The same chords again and again It's late I'm getting colder A bit weaker now and then If I'm the summer that comes frozen Death is the cold breeze in my neck It takes a stiff and stubborn sinner To break a heart before the back My saviour's on the cross Who has seen such greater loss I remember you my dear For our god above is near
