It seems so strange that we should part It takes no need or have 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 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
