Though Adam was a friend of mine
I did not know him well
He was alone into his distance
He was deep into his well
I could guess what he was laughing at, but I couldn't really tell
Now the story's told that Adam jumped, but I'm hoping that he fell
ย
Together we went traveling, as we received the call
His destination India, and I had none at all
Well, I still remember laughing with our backs up against the wall
So free of fear, we never thought that one of us might fall
I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way
Now this story unfolds before my candle
ย
Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
But I feel just like a candle in a way
But I guess I'll get there, I wouldn't say for sure
Can't say for sure
When we parted we were still laughing, as our goodbyes were said
And I never heard from him again as each our lives we led
Except for once in someone else's letter that I read
Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead
I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits before the way
Now his journey appears before my candle
As a song that's growing fainter the harder I play
But I feel just like a candle in a way
I guess I'll get there, but I wouldn't say for sure
Ain't say for sure
ย
Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long
And when I stood myself behind, I never felt so strong
Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song
I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits before the way
I'm holding out my only candle
As a song that's growing fainter the harder I play
But I feel just like a candle in a way
But I guess I'll get there, but I wouldn't say for sure
Can't say for sure
Can't say for sure
