WOODY GUTHRIE - HANUKA'S FLAME lyrics

rate me

Hanuka candlelight, see my flame

Shining on my window's pane;

Come flicker ‘cross my glassy glass

And light each lonesome to pass.

If your lifelong heavy load

Brings you down my path and down my road,

My light of Hanuka shines your way

To ask you in to rest a day.

Hanuka candle dances warm

To help you weather your heavy storm;

Shines like my lighthouse light this night

To bring your worried soul my light

Now as I light my first and my last

Of all nine candles to guide you past

Through these winds of blowing snows

To take you to your Hanuka home.

If you don't wish to stop inside;

Too bashful proud, or afraid of pride,

I'll send my beam to light your dream

Under your snow, where my newgrass hides.
