Now through the darkness I have become The very thing from which I have always tried to run And in the past, well What's done is done You can revisit it now But my heart will never be one One thing's for sure You are what you ignore Think I hear the future banging Down upon your door I used to think that Through thick and thin There would always be a place From which you could begin Was that the time to stop or carry on regardless? I always heard you saying that It's better to light a candle Than to curse the darkness In the almost silence I thought I heard The universe conspiring With your every word And on the TV Working back for more Still in 1989 You threw his stuff out on the lawn Was that the time to stop or carry on regardless? I always heard you saying that It's better to light a candle Than to curse the darkness
