Candle Lawns
We were like brothersLives entwinedKids who grew up togetherDreaming of the world we’d get to see one time
I found a girl and you bought a carSeemed like that summer was over in a minuteNow it’s a fading wedding card
And so life goes on, when childhood’s goneThe times we’ve had, no words can sayAnd all the things we do won’t fade awayA real friend’s like a shelter on a rainy day
Tear of a widow, a hermit’s pleaSwords of an Angel KingWe got to see the world in flamesBefore the calm
Fought like an eagleWaited for the doveWe were the best, never knew there was a limitBut now all hell has broken loose…
Need you toGive my son my purple heartBrother, leave me, run, don’t close my eyesMy last save point’s getting out of reachMy game is over, let me fade away
And will you tell my sonAbout the purple heartAnd what it means to have him keep it todayAnd that he knows I smile in the clouds aboveCome and see me at what he calls candle lawns
