Intro. A F C F C G A A

Verse 1. AThough Adam was a Cfriend of mine, I Fdid not know him well

He was alCone iC/Bnto his dAistanceG, He was Fdeep into his well

I could gCuess wC/Bhat he was lauAghing aGt, But FI couldn't really tell

Now the stAory's tGold that AAdam jumGped, But I'm tFhinking that he fAell

Verse 2. ATogether we went tCravelling, as Fwe received the call

His deCstinaC/Btion InAdia, anGd I hFad none at all

Well I stCill reC/Bmember lauAghing, Gwith ouFr backs against the wall

So frAee of fGear we nevAer thouGght, tFhat one of us might fAall G

Chorus 1. FI sit before my only caCndle, but it's Fso little light to find my Cway

Now this stFory unfolds before my caAndle

Which is shCorter every hour as it reGaches for the day

Well I fAeel just like a candle in a Gway

I guess I'll get thFere but I wouldn't sCay__ GfoFr suCre F C G

Verse 3. When we Aparted we were laCughing still, Fas our goodbyes were said

And I neCver hC/Beard from Ahim aGgain, Fas each our lives we led

except for Conce C/Bin somAeone elGse's Fletter that I read

UnAtil I hGead the suAdden woGrd, thFat a friend of mine was dAead G

Chorus 2. FI sit before my only caCndle, like a piFlgrim sits beside the wCay

Now this joFurney appears before my Acandle

as a soCng that's growing fainter, the Gharder I play

well I fAear before I am I'll fade awGay

But I guess I'll get tFhere, though I wouldn't saCy___ GfoFr suCre F C G

Verse 4. AThough Adam was a Cfriend of mine, FI did not know him long

And when I CstoC/Bod myselAf beside Ghim, I neFver thought I was as strong

still it sCeemed hC/Be stopped Ahis sinGging in Fthe middle of his song

well IA'm not the oGne to sAay I knGow but FI'm hoping he was wrAong G

Chorus 3. FI'm holding out my only cCandle, though it's Fso little light to find my Cway

now this stFory's been layed beneath my Acandle

and it's shCorter every hour as it reGaches for the day

yes I feAel just like a candle in a wGay

I hope I'll get theFre but I'll never prCay G F C F C G
