Light a roman candle with me |
|
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals |
|
And I'll pour you just one cup of tea. |
|
Then you can go and rest |
|
You haven't seen my best, so... |
|
Just spend an evening with me |
|
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving |
|
Or we could stay and talk until three. |
|
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so... |
|
Light a roman candle with me. |
|
Just a roman candle. |
|
Just a perfect apple. |
|
If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together |
|
A sandwich with everything on it, |
|
At least we would know that the sparks didn't glow |
|
But we owe it to ourselves to try, |
|
So we aim and ignite! |
|
So often I call and I plead with you: |
|
"Give me a chance!" |
|
It's not often that I understand |
|
The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right |
|
So don't think of tomorrow tonight. |
|
Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old |
|
But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone... |
|
You look for a legend, |
|
I'm looking for common ground. |
|
Your heart isn't breaking, |
|
And mine isn't making a sound. |
|
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old |
|
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old... |
|
Light a roman candle with me. |
|
Just a roman candle. |
|
Just a perfect apple. |
