As a younger girl
You didn't have much
There ain't a lot to have on our side of town
The streets were dirty
We got by
Then one day
We kinda lost touch
You packed and moved away from our side of town
You wanted fine things
Money can buy
You found the people with money
Bright lights that turn night to day
Just like a candlelight
You're really burning bright
But just how long can you stay?
Burn like a candle
It's your turn to burn
Fire's getting higher, girl
You've got no shame
Burn like a candle
You'll run out of flame
ย
Just the other day
I saw you on the street
You didn't know me; you were flying so high
Your face was empty
Head in the sky
You looked so thin
No shoes were on your feet
Your crystal beads were brighter than your eyes
You didn't see me
Walk right on by
The trip you're taking is one-way
The train to nowhere goes back
Just like a candlelight
You're really burning bright
But just how long can you last?
Burn like a candle
It's your turn to burn
Fire's getting higher, girl
You've got no shame
Burn like a candle
You'll run out of flame
ย
Burn like a candle
It's your turn to burn
Fire's getting higher, girl
You've got no shame
Burn like a candle
You'll run out of flame
