1.
Before The Rain ============= Seven years have passed Since I last held your hand Seven years it's been Hard for me to live without you Yet somewhere deep inside I know there is light in the night There is light… Thru the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain Still I don't know what happened On that dark & lonely night The sidewalk was broken And the shadows were deeper Than I'd ever seen in my life In my life Yet somehow I just knew I could feel Somehow I just knew I could still feel you I could feel… Thru the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain There's a whisper Just a whisper of pain And in the darkness I'll wrap myself in shadows So I can remain Out of the rain Yes I will remain Out of the rain I must remain Out of the rain… Thru the cul-de-sac I will go back To that night before the rain
2.
The Spotlight =========== In times of trouble There's only one thing That can save your mind The darkness doubles You pray for sun But it's something you never find Grab the spotlight In its halo you will fly Grab the spotlight Use its halo to hide From all the strife… When all you have are tears And you'd rather die To save the world the trouble Is it the darkness you fear? Or the fall from on high? That's when your pain doubles Grab the spotlight In its halo you will fly Grab the spotlight Use its halo to hide From all the strife… Deep in the drakness you Wrap the shadows around you You don't know where to climb Deep in the darkness when you Wrap the shadows around you You don't know on high But I still feel like I did that night In the darkness of my light But I still feel like I did that night In the darkness of my light Somehow I will return back to your night…

Titan Spring ========== We once ventured to Titan And left our moon behind Both of us feeling enlightened Trusting ourselves flying blind Blind to the power of gravity And the binding of Saturn's rings That robbed us of our velocity When we crashed on that Titan spring Cracks in the ice were forming We could see a new world below When suddenly without warning You slipped on that nitrogen snow I listened all the way down You were screaming into your com And then there wasn't a sound… Your voice came back to me, calm "Oh my god, it's so beautiful" Those were the first words you said "Under the ice it's wonderful There's a crystal sky overhead" So packing up our provisions I ventured out onto the ice To locate your last position And find Titan's paradise

Darkness ======== I live the life of a truant I like to contemplate the darkness But when I start to day dream My mind turns straight to silence Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes And notice the way I think about Darkness With a smile Curved lips can't hide But I think it's Darkness Making my life worthwhile I need to walk inthe shadows I need to dance in the rain But when I'm left alone My mind turns straight to silence… Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes And notice the way I think about Darkness With a smile Curved lips can't hide But I think it's Darkness Making my life worthwhile This world is filled with chaos And I die in the mundane And when I'm lost in that chaos My mind turns straight to silence Sometimes I look at myself I look straight into my eyes And notice the way I think about Darkness With a smile Curved lips can't hide But I think it's Darkness Making my life worthwhile

Agent Provocoteur ============== I never asked you to be my lover You just grabbed me by the balls I was the weirdo in the classroom And you were the girl that had it all I don't see what you see But I've always seen you Agent provocoteur Qu'est-ce qu'on va faire? Mon agent provocoteur They whisper rumours in the hallways Our scandal is on fire They try to understant the reason for Our entangled passions' desires You don't see what I see But you can't keep your eyes off of me Agent provocoteur Qu'est-ce qu'on va faire? Mon agent provocoteur Your desires fuel my need My dreams inspire your touch In the end all I have to remember Is that you like to be rough Be rough with me my love… I never asked you to be my lover You just grabbed me by the balls I was the weirdo in the classroom And you were the girl that had it all…

That Couple & That Wild Night ======================== It was a dark February night Their car was broken down At the 7/11 gas bar They asked for a ride We said: "Sure we can help" That was the start of that wild night Across the city We took flight With that couple On that wild night It was a drak back alley In some industrial park They said it was their apartment They thanked us for the ride But as they walked away They disappeared into the shadows of that wild night Across the city We took flight With that couple On that wild night In the light of the daytime We returned to make sense Of where they went in the shadows But there were only factory walls With nowhere to hide On that dark & shadowy wild night Across the city We took flight With that couple On that wild night

Comfort In The Shadows ==================== In the end nothing else Matters anymore Once you took those steps Out thru the back door I crawled into my corner And wrapped that shadow Around me Wrapped the shadow Around me Maybe in the end There's no other way To thank you And maybe in the end There's no other way I could have loved you Could have loved you… But it doesn't matter now You walked out that door Out the door… Thru the night I still dream Of your touch And in the night I dream Of your lips Pressed against mine Pressed against mine Pressed against mine And thru the night I want to hold you Oh so tight But there's only Comfort in the shadows Of the night But there's only Comfort in the shadows Of this dark night There's only Comfort in the shadows Of this lonely night There's only Comfort in the shadows Of this lonely night There's only Comfort in the shadows Of this lonely night…

Shadows Don't Get You Nowhere ========================== Last night I was wondering On my way back home Last night I was wondering On my way back home Do you still love me, baby? Or am I on my own? Wandering thru the darkness I can taste the rain I'm out wandering in that darkness, woman I can still taste the rain But shadows don't get you nowhere You just gotta live with all the pain Woke up that morning At about half past ten I woke up that morning At about half past ten Saw your note on the bedside You were gone again Started thinking to myself "What have I done?" I was thinking to myself, woman "What have I done?" And, "who are you with, baby When you coming home?" I'm out wandering in the darkness, baby I can taste the rain I'm out wandering in that dakness, woman And I can still taste the rain But shadows don't get you nowhere You just have to live with all the pain Becuase shadows don't get you nowhere You gotta live with all that pain You know, shadows don't get you nowhere You just gotta learn Just gotta learn To live with all that All that Pain…

about

A live performance featuring new songs, old songs dug out from the Candle vault, & a live improvisation. Following his previous performance procedure, Candle logged onto an online streaming service with no intention of worrying about an audience, plugged in his guitar, & bore his soul for all to hear.

Comfort In Shadows is a chronicle of that performance.

See You In The Shadows…
