With a rose in her hand and a candle on her chest
She put her head on my head and with teary eyes she said:
Precious time we have together
With a stone in my heart I looked up and she was gone.
It makes me stronger, makes me wiser
Meet me at the gates my love down by the lock tonight
In a sequins dress she said everything will be alright
Well sir this time we have together
With a stone in my heart I looked up and she was gone
And it makes me stronger, makes me wiser
It makes me stronger, makes me wiser
With a rose in her hand and a candle on her chest
She put her head on my head and with teary eyes she said:
Sometimes lord, It's hard not to lay down
With a fire in my heart, I stood up and I am strong.
And it makes me stronger, makes me wiser
It makes me stronger, makes me wiser
With a stone in my heart I looked up and she was gone.
