One Candle

Sam Brown

Warm at home 
On this big old smelly sofa 
That makes me feel like I'm five again 
It's the end of the day 
The hearth is ablaze 
And I'm resting my weary brain 

It's funny 
There's a fire full of flames 
But above it 
In the centre of the mantel piece 
Is one candle dancing in the mirror 
One candle holds my gaze 
There's a fire full of flames 
But one candle holds my gaze 

It smiles this room 
And it's musty and it's rosy 
And it's possible that I'll doze off quite soon 
And so to bed 
Up the wooden hill we go 
And say goodnight until tomorrow
