Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eight candles on a blank afternoon
On a cold window sill looking out at December
Where they're waiting
Waiting for the sun to give up
To the passions of red up above the horizon
All at once
They're alive and the window's aglow
Teasing shadows with nowhere to go
So we watch through the curtain with you
Eight candles
[Verse 2]
Eight Candles
Watch us open our hands
See us moving our lips in a chorus of silence and they glimmer
They're alive and the window's aglow
Chasing shadows with nowhere to go
So we watch through the curtain with you
[Verse 3]
Eight candles, disappearing for good
And our eyes lose the light till it comes back tomorrow
[Verse 4]
Eight more candles
'Til the shadows have reached the horizon
[Verse 5]
Eight candles
Eight more candles
Eight more candles
Eight more candles
