Rushlights

A rushlight is a type of candle or miniature torch formed by soaking the dried pith of the rush plant in fat or grease. For several centuries, rushlights were a common source of artificial light for poor people throughout the British Isles. They were extremely inexpensive to make.

You move like wind on the water of a distant shore
You move like a candle in the darkness and I want more
You move like wind on the water of a distant shore
You move like a candle in the darkness and I want more

I swim in your ocean underneath the stars
You circle around me washing over my scars
I'm like a ship tossed at sea
You keep me moving wild and free

You move like wind on the water of a distant shore
You move like a candle in the darkness and I want more

I reach into your sky, I keep looking for love
In the shadow of mountains hiding the moon above
Mountains between you and me
Stepping stones cause we're wild and free

You move like wind on the water of a distant shore
You move like a candle in the darkness and I want more
You move like wind on the water of a distant shore
You move like a candle in the darkness and I want more

And when I see too much
And a dark spirit follows me
I get a cold sense of touch
I gotta break loose, wild and free

You move like wind on the water of a distant shore
You move like a candle in the darkness and I want more

You move like wind on the water of a distant shore
You move like a prayer in the darkness and I want more
You move like wind on the water of a distant shore
You move like a prayer in the darkness and I want more
