The Light
Tony Wyatt
Timepiece, 1982

The light has shined, the fire has burned, 
I saw the way my heart was warmed. 
The flame was hot, but now has cooled. 
My path was clear and unconfused. 
The light it flickered, then went out. 
We're in the dark together alone. 

I've tried and tried and tried again, 
Just say the word I'll try once more 
to find a way to end the dark. 
The light is love, the fire is passion. 
Help gather kindling, that's all I ask. 
The storm approaches, cold sets in.
