lyrics

Candles Burning

We left pieces of each other
We left things behind
In our rush to leave the scene
Of our sweet little crimes

Who will … pick up the ribbons
Who will … pick up the paper
Who will … take out the trash
Who will … salvage the treasure

We left candles burning
We left something on the table
Clothes on the floor
Keys in the door

Second floor walk-up
We didn’t have money
We had what we needed
We didn’t want more

It was … just for the moment
It was … part of forever
It was … only beginning
It was … already ending

We left candles burning
We left something on the table
Clothes on the floor
Keys in the door

There was no proper ending
That I can remember
Might have been April
Or maybe December

What did you … say to me
What did I … say to you
Where did we … go from there
What…did…we…do…

We left candles burning
We left something on the table
Clothes on the floor
Keys in the door . . . don’t open anymore
