Sister Hazel - Ten Candle Days Lyrics
Daddy was a hard man, worked coal all his life
Dollar a day which kept us alive
So we headed west bound, we came of age
Fortunes to be found, and mistakes I claimed
And when I die, won't you lay me on down by
Rowing forth river near the old aspen road
Spend all days searching these mountains for silver
Ten candle days will be gone for too long
So we found us a new town to work in the cracks
We’re thanking the Lord now for strengthening our backs
With pick ax and powder, a quick prayer to God
A candle an hour for each one on the job
We learned fast from these measures and waiting years old
The Summer it seems, blessed us with a child
A passive of changing, with pressure in town
Singing ah, ale-ale-alah
When I die, won't you lay me on down by
Rowing forth river near the old aspen road
Spend all days searching these mountains for silver
Ten candle days will be gone for too long
Shine on, shine on
These ten candle days shine on
Shine on, shine on
When the lights from down low
We'll be coming home
My brothers are gone now, blacks out fresh
I guess what you take now, you gotta give back
Lonely prospector, last of my kind
Sole protector of this silver mine
Singing ah, ale-ale-alah
When I die, won't you lay me on down by
Rowing forth river near the old aspen road
Spend all days searching these mountains for silver
Ten candle days will be gone for too long
Shine on, shine on
These ten candle days shine on
Shine on, shine on
When the lights from down low
We'll be coming home

Sister Hazel Ten Candle Days Comments
I love this song. The first time I heard it was a couple of days ago and it was during a live VIP experience. Since then I've continued to listen to it.
This song is OK, but the violin and acoustic guitar at the beginning just melted me. I want to hear an album of music like that.
