lyrics

CANDLE GIRL

Desperate flickering
She is smoldering
Candles sputtering
Disembodying

Shadows, Shadows on the wall
melting shadows, shadows on the wall of my heart

Closing windows now
She is running round
holding terror down
No more candles found

Shadows, Shadows on the wall
melting shadows, shadows on the wall of my heart

There’s a tear that fell
Near the flame oh Hell!
Mustn’t shame or quell
the only light that’s in this spell

If this light should fail
How would true love hail
This she cried and wailed
No mere fairy tale

Her true love lost his way
needed dawn to show the day
needed night to kneel and pray
prayed his love would kill the flame

He is music to her
Bringing joy to her world
He can’t show this to her
as a frantic candle girl
