Candles (cast Long Shadows) Lyrics - Singles - Brazil

They say you died in your sleep 

From a poison vapour leak in 1917 

You were only 23 

The time I saw you last was in a piece of glass 

When you moved across the room 

And I smelled your cheap perfume 

Late....the candles cast long shadows 

No matter where you are 

Shiver! In the apartment where I live 

And the death you relive 

Is too close to my bed 

And replays in my head 

You are the ghost in the machine 

You are the ghost in my routine 

And I find you quite obscene 

Because the way you make me fiend 

Late...the candles cast long shadows 

No matter where you are 

I don't know what to do 

Because your body I see through 

But I could not see your face 

Though I saw your breath on the mirror 

And there's one thing you should know 

It's that I fell for you long ago 

And everything that I do begins and ends with you 

Late...The candles cast long shadows 

No matter where you are 

The candles cast long shadows 

Adelaide? (There's no one there)
