The Candle Burns Red
The Candle Burns Red
The night is but our dreams
Where nothing is what it seems
In a love that is all but dead
While our candle light burns red
Lonesome was our sleep
For the tears that you did weep
When I touched upon your head
As we shared each other's bed
From every dropping tear
My life has become unclear
Our love, might still be saved
Under the candle lights red ray
For just one more chance
I can find our lost romance
If you promise, you will stay
Our candle red will never burn away
