Lyrics

Candle-man
Hot boiling wax and string
Hope for the bread they may bring
Prayer ev'ry night and day
Work enough to pay his way

Chorus
He burned his hands in wax for candles
He burned his hands in wax for candles
He burned his hands in wax for candles
Wax for candles
The candle-man.

Fixed on the candle light
Lost in a memory flight
Time when his hands were young
Learned the trade that Daddy'd done

Chorus

Bridge

Who can say how big and bright
The glow must be to shine a light?
In the dark, the smallest ray
Can be enough to show the way

Chorus
