The Temperance Lounge - Candle For Company Lyrics

That far away look, I'm gone, I'm gone
Can't cope with all the lies, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'd like to close the book, I'm gone, I'm gone
No need for long goodbye's, I'm gone, I'm gone

Night, on my own again
A candle, for company
It's been an age, but it's not unfamiliar
Try and look engaged, please don't look so sad

Those candle flames, like the lives of men
When the sun has set, we burn without confession
Casting liquid shadows, on us all
Learning to tackle, the darkness from a blind man

Take myself home, I'm done, I'm done
Don't want to see the tears, I'm done, I'm done
Just once I'd like to be, seen and not heard
I'm told that's just absurd, I'm done, I'm done

Meal, for one again
Some red wine, for company
And at this hour, I'm not quite so convivial
Now you're up to date, things aren't quite so bad

Those candle flames, like the lives of men
When the sun has set, we burn without confession
Casting liquid shadows, on us all
Learning to tackle, the darkness from a blind man

The girl on the door, reads Sadie Smith
Perched on a stool, waits to check ID
Alone in a corner, it's a quiet night
She eyeballs me, it's an all time victory
