Lyrics

I know that you blame me Think I ruined your life
Although I was not the one Who employed the knife
Candle in the window Ribbon round the tree
I’ll try every trick that I know Though you’re lost to me

Don’t know where you are now Near or far away
I could never find the words That would make you stay
Candle in the window Ribbon round the tree
I’ll try every trick that I know Though you’re lost to me

I can’t get directions, Compass or a map
There is nothing I can do That will bridge the gap
Candle in the window Ribbon round the tree
I’ll try every trick that I know Though you’re lost to me

There’s no point me searching Needle in a stack
There is not the slightest chance Of your coming back
Candle in the window Ribbon round the tree
I’ll try every trick that I know Though you’re lost to me

The character treads the line between desperation and resignation in a state that most listeners will recognize. I like the contrast in mood between the chorus and verses, which says that things are not as decided as stated. A good song for a certain mood.

Interesting love song with both want and push away by the storyteller. Dug the torpid play and vocals--spot-on for getting this tale perfectly told in song!
