Candles Are Burning
It seemed so strange that we should part
it takes no need and no heart
I come away but where are you
there's only words to hang on to
still candles are burning
still candles are burning.
I've known you for a thousand years
I've cried you through a thousand tears
this time you've shown your face too late
and for the first we had to wait
still candles are burning
still candles are burning.
How can I run from what is true
a world's begun since there was you
it's hard to lose what might have been
but what is real and what's a dream
still candles are burning
still candles are burning.
Candles are burning
my hands are being charred
we'll make the best of it
and finally fit where we belong
I can't be certain
that I'll see you again
but there will always be a flame with me
that never ends.
