You light a candle and walk into the room
A step behind you, I’m frightened of the gloom
But don’t ask why the world was built to cry
And lets pretend these tears are not the end
It seems so easy but it’s hard to understand
Why some of us get fifty years – the devil’s sleight of hand
But can’t you see there’s only you and me
A fleeting brief, time’s just the quiet thief
Perhaps you see me, perhaps you’re standing near
I watch the candle flicker and I feel you disappear
The world depends on starts and bitter ends
It’s time to run, my friend you’ve had your fun
But tell the stars I’ll be there in a while
Tell the stars there’s an eternal smile
