The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound And half the perfect world is found

The time to go has come and gone Why can't I? Why can't I say goodnight? It's almost sunrise Hours and hours gone by Candles are burned down Turned into morning light The whole world is sleeping And still I can't give in It's a love story
