[Verse 1]
AmThough Adam was a Gfriend of mine, I dFid not know him well
He was aClone Gin his exiAmstence G
He was dFeep into his well
I could Cguess what Ghe was lAmaughing at, G
But I cFouldn't really tell
Now the sCtory's tGold that AmAdam jumpedG,
But I've been thFinking that he Amfell G
[Verse 2]
AmTogether we went tGraveling, as Fwe received the call
His CdestinGation AmIndia, G
And FI had none at all
Well, I sCtill rGemember lAmaughingG with ourF backs against the wall
So fCree of Gfear, we nAmever thoughGt that Fone of us might fAmallG
[Chorus 1]
FI sit before my only Ccandle,
But it'sF so little light to find my Cway
Now this sFtory unfolds before my cAmandle
Which is sChorter every hour as it rGeaches for the day
But I Amfeel just like a candle in the Gway
I guess I'll get tFhere, but I wouldn't CsayG for Fsure C F C
[Verse 3]
When we Amparted we were Glaughing still, as oFur goodbyes were said
And I nCever hGeard from hAmim againG
As Feach our lives we led
ExCcept for oGnce in soAmmeone eGlse's Fletter that I read
UntCil I hGeard the sAmudden Gword that a fFriend of mine was Amdead G
[Chorus 2]
FI sit before my only Ccandle,
FLike a pilgrim sits beside the wCay
Now this jFourney appears before myAm candle
Which is sChorter every hour as it rGeaches for the day
But I Amfeel just like a candle in the Gway
I guess I'll get tFhere, but I wouldn't CsayG for Fsure C F C
[Verse 4]
Though AAmdam was a frienGd of mine, I did notF know him long
When I Cstood Gmyself besiAmde him G
I never thFought I was as strong
Still it seCems he stoGpped his AmsingingG in thFe middle of his song
Well, I'm Cnot the Gone to sAmay I kGnow, but I'm Fhoping he was wrAmong G
[Chorus 3]
FWell, I'm holding outC my only candle
FThough it's so little light to find my wCay
Now this sFtory's been laid beneath my cAmandle
And it's sChorter every hour as it rGeaches for the day
But I Amfeel just like a candle in the Gway
I guess I'll get tFhere, but I never praCy G
