the x wife calls tells me the children miss me. her voice a mirror of broken glass fragments falling into the touch of sadness from her fingers the soft laughter of her eyes like a candle in the night tonight twilight comes to play whispering in my night quick as life I hear the sadness quick as life I can hear the regret I 've wounded you I can only be what I was meant to be I am the candle without the wick excuse me, i tell her, i've got to go.

a candle in the night
the x wife calls tells me the children miss me. her voice a mirror of broken glass fragments falling into the touch of sadness from her fingers the soft laughter of her eyes like a candle in the night tonight twilight comes to play whispering in my night quick as life I hear the sadness quick as life I can hear the regret I 've wounded you I can only be what I was meant to be I am the candle without the wick excuse me, i tell her, i've got to go.
