Lyrics
Beauty in hindsight
Reading at night
Light a candle
Reading at night
Shadows move around the room
Shadows move around
With passion
Something I must have said
Something I must have said
A word or two displaced
Here I make my stand
She's gone
She would lie here
Reading at night
Light a candle
Make love by firelight
She was fire and she was pain
Light a candle
She's Gone
Candle's burning
She's gone
With passion
Something I must have said
Something I must have said
A word or two displaced
Here I make my stand
She's gone
She?s gone
