about

Dedicated to my lovely & talented wife Samantha. The book, bell, and candle are ritual items well known for their symbolism. Standing in front of the home that my grandfather built, and the family sold long ago, I considered that it would never be home for me again. The tree with bark that peeled in the shape of puzzle pieces was cut down. I shall always remember, when I sing this song, the tears that maidens of the girl scout troop shed, poetically aware of the implications of growing into adulthood, and what 'home' would mean when childhood ends. This song is sung by my step-daughter, Nrya Song, as I pass the torch of creativity in music to her, the next generation. This is her debut release as a performer.

lyrics

Once upon a time, at the end of the world
With a book, a bell, a candle burning
and the light reflected in your eyes
Showed me the love for which I was yearning
And there, underneath the planet Mars
We did shine just like the wand'ring stars
Once upon a time, at the end of the world
With a book, a bell, a candle burning
Oo, Candlelight Oo, Candlelight
Once upon a time at the end of the world
I knew I could never return home
for the old folks have passed away into the great beyond
for home a place that is here, then its gone
And here, a fantasy of memory to find
and there, the dream of a life we left behind
Once upon a time at the end of the world
I knew I could never return home
Oo, Candlelight Oo, Candlelight
Once upon a time, at the end of the world
We found a love that would carry on
on into the night and the glow of the morning star
Never thought it could go so far
And there, underneath the planet Mars
We did shine just like the wand'ring stars
Once upon a time, at the end of the world
With a book, a bell, a candle burning
Once upon a time, at the end of the world
With a book, a bell, a candle burning Oo, Candlelight Oo, Candlelight
