And I will hold the candle
And keep you in its glow
And I will dig a tunnel
Through this barrier of snow
And I will paint a picture
A picture of the sea
And I will build a tower
So that you will soon see me
And I will touch the clouds
And bring them to the ground
And I will douse the fire
That is burning up the town
And I will enter evil
And dance with devil-kin
And I will look in parties
That you are dwelling in
And I will etch your image
Into your father’s stone
And I will pray to someone
A man who is ours alone
And I will show the moonlight
The quicksilver of a smile
That echoes in the midnight
And rings on for a mile
And I will give the answer
To the question you won’t ask
And I will ask you something
And offer you my mask
