This is a song that I wrote and recorded on April 2, 2006 on Glenn Tilbrook's tour bus. Glenn is playing the second guitar and bass on this one.Visit Glenn's page at www.glenntilbrook.com
Two candles on the table
and their flames are burning bright
Touch those flames together,
And you'll multiply their light
But they're still the same two candles
Still burning on their own
Now these candles got me thinking
'bout some people that I've known
Cause I've seen them at the altar
And I've heard them make their vows
And promises that they believed
They could keep somehow
But written down or spoken
Words don't change a thing
Friendship can't be bought or sold
And Love is Not A Chain
Let's leave all the strings behind us
and just keep the ties that bind us
and the things that make us stronger
are the things that will remain
There are friends and there are lovers
And some things that I've discovered
Like Friendship can't be bought or sold
And Love is Not a Chain
I have wandered through the darkness
Searching for a light
Or just a friend to hold my hand
And make it seem alright
And I thought that love had found me
At least a time or two
But it didn't feel like it was real
'till it found me with you
Let's leave all the strings behind us
and just keep the ties that bind us
and the things that make us stronger
are the things that will remain
There are friends and there are lovers
And some things that I've discovered
Like Friendship can't be bought or sold
And Love is Not a Chain
