Altar

When the flame goes out & the candle burns into the sand The smoke rises It's still warm but you're not there anymore I'm afraid & there's such shame in my heart 7 years it was a long time One down- Two to go To my old friends Carpenters & technicians Mechanics, botanical demolition crew I been around sometime But I never met anyone like you When the church goes dark & the ghosts come out I'll be there too Meet you on the old line, I know you know- This one's getting low In the final scene It was sunset & new years eve But you know I don't believe in those things I don't mean that; I never have been good at explaining Fighting, Singing, Or being in love Never did see a star falling that way How could you say the things you say to me, babe? Never did see the colors start to fade Tho after all it's just an altar I made Just candles and sand and smoke rising It's still warm but yr not there anymore It's still warm but yr not there It's still warm but yr not
