Ten Candle Days - Sister Hazel

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

Singing ah, ale-ale-alah

And when I die, won’t you lay me on down by

Rowing forth river near the old aspen road

Spend all these 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 gets old

Find the woman you treasure, you could love nothing more

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 asphen road

Spend all these 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 asphen road

Spend all these 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
