Ride Yves Highway!


CANDLE ON THE CREST

Goodbye biker friend
Though we didn't see you quite enough
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those behind you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
"Show us how you ride that way"
And the squids would try in vain

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle on the Crest
Feelin' leathers cling to you
When the rain set in

And I would have said I loved you
But guys, they keep it hid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Even when you died
The press didn't mention you
All the papers had to say
Was a biker was found on the Crest today

Goodbye Yankee Bee
Never one to run and hide
You were always there to party hard
Or stay straight and go and ride

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle on the Crest
Taking shit from no one
Now God's messenger and pest

And I would have said I loved you
But guys, they keep it hid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Your candle burned out long before
Yves' legend ever did
