Light the candles, brother
I can hear the horses getting closer

And I'll be there to meet you Diane
I'll be there to meet you, Diane

We'll work through the winter
There's no panthers in this cold

And I'll be there to meet you Diane
I'll be there to meet you Diane

I've been awake, for a very, very long time
I've been awake, for a very, very long time

Just like my mother
Just like my mother
Just like my mother
Ooh-oh

Go with your father for us
Learn how to help us when he's gone

And I'll be there to meet you Diane
I'll be there to meet you Diane
Walk into the forest
But come back alive

Oh, and I'll be there to meet you Diane
I'll be there to meet you Diane

I've been awake, for a very, very long time
I've been awake, for a very, very long time

Just like my mother
Just like my mother
Just like my mother
Ooh-oh

Just like my mother
(I've been awake...)
Just like my mother
(For a very, very long time)
Just like my mother
(I've been awake...)
Ooh-oh
