Moonlight through a window and a cold wind
And I wake up alone
And like always you have left me
Here beside a burnt out candle
In the darkness I'll wait for you to show

I'm deeply concerned for your safe return
You left me behind but how could I mind
Waiting for you all of my life?

Stand over a warm stove cause the cold floor
Feels colder when you're gone
But like always I am waiting
And I'll make this tea for two
Just in case you make it back before the dawn

I'm deeply concerned for your safe return
You left me behind but how could I mind
Waiting for you all of my life?

And if you're never coming home
Then I thought that you should know
I'll sit here yearning for forevermore and for all time
I'll light this candle and another one when this one dies
I'll keep them burning through the night

Sunlight on the window and your cold feet
And I am not alone
And like always I am happy
Here beside this burning candle
You're asleep now and your face is all aglow

I've been so concerned for your safe return
You left me behind but how could I mind
Waiting for you all of my life?

And if you're never coming home
Then I thought that you should know
I'll sit here yearning for forevermore and for all time
I'll light this candle and another one when this one dies
I'll keep them burning all my life
