Another light is burning out

Another candle’s gone out

The wax has maybe just run out

For some the winds just a bit too strong oh

Some leaves are falling in spring this year

Some roots will dry in the rain

It may not always make sense to me

Some will be thankful today

Lay your hand in his

Let him take you away

I will take care of the rest

I will let you fade away

His black robe contrasting all the whites

Doing his rounds with us

Not letting us know what he know

Just doing it at his time oh

Take a break with us

You been working all day

I will take care of the rest

I will let them fade away

Take their hand in yours

Wont you take them away

I will take care of the rest

I will let them fade away

I will let them fade away

Don’t let yourself fade away

I will let them fade away
