Flames of your candles are dancing in the night
They haven't burnt out yet, but they might
Their shadows are waltzing on the wall
But you don't mind at all...
Their shadows are waltzing on the wall
(Flames of your candles are dancing in the night)
You sit, wrapped in blankets, and watch the snow fall
(They haven't burnt out yet, but they might)
Let all of your thoughts just fly away
No, they don't need to stay, don't need to stay...
Boat of today slowly swinging to the shore
(Flames of your candles are dancing in the night)
You've had days like this and there will be some more
(They haven't burnt out yet, but they might)
But the roads that you walked and the people you talked to
Are no more than shadows of flame and they don't need to stay...
Flames of your candles are dancing in the night
(They don't need to stay)
They haven't burned out yet, but they might
(They don't need to stay)
