Girl, you are a bird that flies away
As I'm reaching out to take you in my hand
At first, I believe your gonna stay
And I think I under stand

You have shown me all your colors
Long enough to feel the pain
Then you leave me helpless
Like a candle 'n' the rain

Girl, you are a wind that's blowing free
And you leave the dust of wanting in my eyes
Faith, I thought you were here for me
Just to clear my cloudy skies

You are moving here within me
Long enough to feel the pain
Then you leave me stranded
Like a candle in the rain

I don't think I will ever heal
From the scars you left on me
How can one hold on so long
And let go so easily

You showed me all your colors
Long enough to feel the pain
Then you leave me helpless
Like a candle in the rain
