lyrics

You walked across
the platinum floor
to meet the Eastern plane
I was huddled in a shelter
with you family
At the customs gate
you turned to wave me
and in the morning rain
You became a candle
A naked flame
Melting the cold wind
that was blowing you away
Oh Marcus

I'd heard you sing
of India
You'd called is wise and free
You'd said that man is destined
to be searching
And I know
that freedom called you
I hope you live to be
The naked candle
I still see
Melting the cold wind
that blew you away
Oh Marcus

You know sometimes
with my music
when I need to feel strong
I think about the distance
of our friendship
And I feel
for what you're into
It grieves me now you're gone
So I let the words hang
from this song
They melt the cold wind
that blew you away
Oh Marcus

Now if you ever
hear the forest
when she calls to those who roam
In between her perfect stillness
she might beckon you
And if you ever
give your body to
the road that leads you home
Come feed the candle
It burns alone
Melting the cold wind
that blew you away
Oh Marcus stay
