about

Poignant. Unrequited. That old stuff.

lyrics

I flew too close to the candle and I think that my wings are aflame
I should never have come so close to you – it seems I won’t leave again.

There should be some kind of warning
For those of us who fly by night
To beware of the cold air of morning
And to keep away from the light.

Oh the light that it cast out was gentle and I’d been far too long in the cold
And all of the dark seemed so lonely and all of your welcome seemed gold.

There should be some kind of warning
For those of us who fly by night
To beware of the cold air of morning
And to keep away from the light.

And alone outside your window there’s just the pale gleam of far distant stars
You could search for heaven for ever – at least you’d be safe where you are.

There should be some kind of warning
For those of us who fly by night
To beware of the cold air of morning
And to keep away from the light.
