The candles flicker and die
The sun no longer shines
But I can see more clearly
Illusions fall from my eyes
The truth is plain for all to see
And I must stop deceiving myself
Don't touch me like you used to do
Don't tell me words that can't be true
Don't hold me till the light of day
You were in my arms last night
But you were far away
You were in arms last night
But you were far away
If I could hold back the night
If I could turn back time
But you're not my possession
Some childhood dreams never grow
Some poems will never find a rhyme
But I can still want you for myself
So touch me like you used to do
And whisper words that can't be true
And love me till the light of day
Hold me in your arms tonight
And take me far away
Hold me in your arms tonight
And I'll be far away
Don't leave me till the light of day
You'll be in my dreams tonight
But you'll be far away
You'll be in my dreams tonight
But you'll be far away
So very far away
