Each night I sit at this table
Quietly place my candle upon its top

Strike a match and gently start a flame
My beacon in the darkest corner of this room

A sign to those that drift through darkness
An invitation to sit with me

Come be with me
Join your light with mine

For this night will never end
In the darkest corner of this inn

All travelers pass through
Though none visit my corner

As you pass on by
Out through the door

I extinguish my light
Wrap my cloak around me

Pass through the doorway behind you
Into everlasting night pouring rain

The sound is forever calming
It silences footfalls oh so close to you

Upon a ragged cut path through trees
You stop and draw forth your light

My darkness descends upon you
Knocking both candles yours and mine into dark water

Drowning once flawless flames
Until both candles go out

My light is dead
My darkness consumes you

I am left upon this path
With nothing but rain amid darkness

Candle forever lost
I withdraw into trees

Waiting for those that drift through darkness
Come be with me

Travelers pass me
None ever leave me

Rain will never end
In the darkest corner of this night
