Song Description

Exploring the metaphor of the unity candle at a wedding

Lyrics

Two as one
So they say that day
when fire merged and life was purged away, away.

Blaze through the night
Fight the morning light
Wake into a day that makes me want to give myself away

Wish I may, I wish I might
find a love that takes flight
The world is turning in my plight
the time is now to show me how
You will hold to your vows until
your final bow.
Is it true when say 'I do'?
Slip a little farther 'way
Where to live and where to stay?
Sudden crash, memory slash, a lover's past
will always be a secret garden without a key
How could it be that two is one
within our love when one is two in flesh and blood?
Did fire's merge cause life to purge away, away?

Blaze through the night
Fight the morning light
Wake into a day that makes me want to give myself away
And it was right
To wait for morning's light
To wake into a day that makes me want to give myself away

Before us where we stand
there lies a different road
Will you take my hand and
help me as I go?
We'll hold to our vows until our
final bow and know it's true when I say 'I do'
We set ourselves upon our way
A place to live, a place to stay

Wish I may, I wish I might
keep this love that took flight
The candle's burning in our plight
you showed me how the time is now to...

Blaze through the night
Fight the morning light
Wake into a day that makes me want to give myself away
And we were right
To wait for morning's light
I woke into a day that makes me want to give myself away
