Lyrics

[Intro]
I really liked being a candleflame
I really liked being a songbird
I really liked being a lightbeam
And a highwayman
And an astronaut
And a snowstorm

[Perc]
Hello everyone
Thank you all for joining us today
Welcome to this parish hall of kindred spirits as we commemorate our dear friend Susan

[Verse 1]
Once a bright and carefree child as she flew threw the sky in an airplane
Shining like a candleflame
Up so high
But now she our of gas
And her wings have melted away
Oh
Won't you come back
Those lost days of my happiness
Oh
You used to fly

[Chorus]
Those were the days of my happiness
Do you remember
Do you remember
Those were the days of my happiness
Do you remember
Do you remember
Those were the days of my happiness
[Verse 2]
I really liked being a candleflame
I really liked being a songbird
I really liked being a lightbeam
And a highwayman
And an astronaut
And a snowstorm

[Perc]
Sometimes I'd wonder what it might be like
To spread my wings and float high up into the clouds
Those days that sat just outside of the periphery of our senses like dreams and memories
And ships from outer space

[Verse 3]
There was a girl swinging quietly
Her summerdress ruffles in the wind
And she's got a spoonfull of honey in her mouth
Like a songbird
And it makes me miss all those lost days
When we used to fly
And I have these nightmares all the time
Where I see swans in shattered glass
And their necks all tied in knots
