©1975 by Gordon Lightfoot

I see a place where candles burn
And lovers rest tonight
The hollow sound inside me now
Keeps telling me to write
But songs of love will never leave
Love's feelings undefiled
The tide has turned, the waves roll in
The waters fill my eyes

The price of l___ has risen till
The ceiling will not stand
The tears I shed were not in shame
The world was in my hands
If trust was just a simple thing
Then trusting I would be
But deep within my soul I know
It's better to be free

The days fly by, the waves roll in
But freedom has not come
I fear my faith will soon give out
My senses come undone
My role is played, the demon dogs
Come stealin' o'er land
And foolish I would climb once more
A tree too weak to stand

I see a place where candles burn
And lovers rest tonight
The hollow sound inside me now
Keeps telling me to write
But songs of love should not be sung
Where staying is not planned
And foolish I would climb once more
A tree too weak to stand

And foolish I would climb once more
A tree too weak to stand
