Bittersweet, a fulfilled wish,
Now I know the texture of your kiss
Perhaps some dreams are better left unformed
And now that all that’s left is this
The briefest memory of bliss
And the sunbeams just seem to break their form

Now let the thunderheads console
Around rumbling rhythms roll
Best grab a candle before you lose the light
But remember just to guard your hand
‘Cos every candle leaves a brand
Sad that loves is not so easy to ignite

Sometimes a spark, can guide you in the night
And if you felt that for a minute, then all of this is quite alright
If you felt some kind of comfort, sheltered in my arms
If you felt that for a second, then that’s worth all the harm

We never shared a destiny
I never learnt the key to thee
No answer to the chains that hold you down
And should you return across the sea
Unwittingly, you take a piece of me
And in your wake, all just seems to run aground
Sometimes a spark, can guide you in the night
And if you felt that for a minute, then all of this is quite alright
If you felt some kind of comfort, sheltered in my arms
If you felt that for a second, then that’s worth all the harm

And so I’ll blow this candle out
Let the smoke guide your fragrance out
And take a final breath, just to remember you by
I’ve held this candle, ‘til it burned
Perhaps it’s now the time to learn
And watch your flame vanish with a sigh

And it seems that this will be your only song
A farewell I should not prolong
And words unwritten they just have to take their turn
And I hope one day there’ll be someone
As precious as the morning sun
Who’ll take your candle, light it, let it burn

Sometimes a spark, can guide you in the night
And if you felt that for a minute, then all of this is quite alright
If you felt some kind of comfort, sheltered in my arms
If you felt that for a second, then that’s worth all the harm

Well this world is much too beautiful for a single pair of eyes
And all I wanna do is share it with you, no deception, no disguise
Now I don’t know every point on the chart, but I know which way is north
And if you’re true to your heart and advance in the dark the truth will come tumbling forth
So why do you go and cover your ears if silence is the thing that you fear
You know that under your skin every trophy you win is just another cup for your tears
And I’m not asking you to sacrifice just a chance to stand by your side
To be with you again to dance in the rain in a place where our hopes coincide

Don’t you know that love is knocking on your door
Don’t you know that love is knocking on your door
Don’t you know that love is knocking on your door
Don’t you know that love is knocking on your door
