Slow the Candle Burns

Salome means the "Summer"
so short, I spent with you
And quickly leaves... the Autumn
and falling morning dew

 

Never thought I'd know you
Still, I guess there's much to learn
Opened up and shared a little.....
Slow the Candle Burns.

 

Face to face eludes us now
Mountains, Sand and Oceans part
It's hard to see within a soul
moving closer to the heart.

 

Once lit your warming up to me
and your wax begins to melt away
There's so much, I'm here to listen
and so much I'd like to say

 

All I have to now remember....
Is the tender look upon your face
Looking forward to drawing you closer
As soon as I can leave this place

 

And if your laying soft and by my side
Drawing warmly, softly in
I might forget the places I've known
and the kind of man I'd been.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

another song... this one is about Salome'. A beautiful woman I spent a brief summer with. Tunes in my head.
