The candle's burning, burning low
Wax is dripping down it slow
Shadows flicker and disappear
Not like when they were here
And I will never let you drown
You must reach shore for where you're bound
I know sometimes you feel so cold
But what you are cannot be sold
Rain is falling against glass
Will this storm ever pass?
The sunlight's gone beyond the clouds
And now the thunder's growing loud
And I will never let you drown
You must reach shore for where you're bound
I know sometimes you feel so cold
But what you are cannot be sold
And when your ship is riding wave after wave
The moonlight's flickering and you're praying to be saved
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, ooh
And I will never let you drown
You must reach shore for where you're bound
I know sometimes you feel so cold
But what you are cannot be sold
