A Million Candles

The smile in your eyes
Stole my heart away
The touch of your hands
Made my heart skip and play


Where did you come from
To find a man like me
Trapped, broken, old and cold
From years on the sea


Was it fate that took you
To the harbour that night
As boats returned home
Just before the morning light


Your smile was like a million candles
Your touch drew me away from the sea
From the boats and harbour
To a place where finally my heart could be free.
