Loneliness is my only guest Who visits me alone at night When it comes I light two candles Just the way it was And pretend the flames become your eyes Emptiness is a friend I guess The shadow played upon the wall If I let the candles take me I can see your face And remember hearing someone call your name chorus My candles are crying, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo My candles are crying, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo Theyre crying for you Theyre waiting for you Im waiting for you Is it you knocking at my door Or maybe just a ghostly wind How I wish that you were here Siting by my side And youll bring me back to life again tonight
