Like a Candle in Wind

Like a Candle in The Wind

Elton John

 

 

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candles burned out long before

Your legend ever will

 

Goodbye England's rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that placed itself

Where lives were torn apart

Goodbye England's rose

From a country lost without your soul

Who'll miss the wings of your compassion

More than you'll ever know

 

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And you footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candles burned out long before

Your legend ever will

 

Lived your life like a candle in the wind

(Simile-Free and alive or maybe even fragile)

 

Your candle burned out long ago

(Metaphor- Someone died , it wasn’t an actual candle)

 

Goodbye England’s Rose

(Metaphor- a rose is beautiful.

 

Princess Diana was England’s beauty before she died.)

 

You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart.

(Metaphor- people loved her)

 

Who will miss the wings of your companion

(Metaphor- not actual wings, just presence, angle or bird.)

 

Your candle burned out long before you legend every will

 (Metaphor- it is not an actual candle. It is saying that even though she died, her memories still remain.
