I have got a fever in my heart, I have got a fear up in my soul, I am sixty seasons now from home, And I'm not gonna see it any more. And the only one I had is gone, The only one I had is gone. Keep the candle lit in your window, At midnight it will breath a steady glow, I'll see it when I'm out and on the road, I'll need it when I'm out and in the cold. When the only one I had is gone, When the only one I had is gone, When the only one I had is gone, When the only one I had is gone. Gone are the doey eyes I used to know Gone are those sweet hands I used to hold, I am walking through the darkened hall, And I am walking out the open door. I have walked a million miles, And I could walk a million more. But the only one I had is gone, The only one I had is gone, The only one I had is gone, The only one I had is gone.
