Someone helped the brakes drown my words out

Saying "you're not in the crowd"

Got nowhere to meet my girl

Who liked dancing on a cloud

It's a season of sadness, madness and self-deception

But I love you

A burning candle on the water

Is floating slowly by my boat

It makes me think of all the strangers

Singing gently in the homes

It's a season of sadness, madness and self-deception

But I love you

She's painting plenty of trees and which one is mine?

Have late dinner at two and then kill the time

But a burning candle on the water

Is floating slowly by my boat
