So lonely and sad I returned home
My wife had died in hospital
Leaving me to live a sad life
So I wiped the motes from my eyes
Feeling empty, frail and helpless
The taxi journey seemed endless
I spoke little on the ride back
My mind drifted back years ago
Both then young living a wild life
Then settling down with family
Seeking the days of happiness
The taxi driver delivered me home
I entered now our empty house
I choked with sorrow by myself
Then I lit a candle just for her
