Roman Candle

There were eyes on us
Parents advising us
Oh, we pretended
Not to hear.

Take your time on us
Ripen the vine on us
Oh but you whisper
In my ear.

"In the sea of love there ain't no time
In the clutching fist of time
We'll survive".

My light never burned that bright
But I know a sign when I see it
Now you know.

If they wound me
Blew us like a ship at sea
It doesn't mean
I'm uncertain
Just afraid.

You like the sound of love
Of drinking the dragon's blood
Oh, but you might not
Like the taste.

In the sea of love there ain't no time
In the clutching fist of time
We'll survive.

My light never burned that bright
But I know a sign when I see it
It darkens my doorway and I need you.

Now you know.

The sea of love it sees no time
But the clutching fist of time is a vice.

My light never burned that bright
But I know a sign when I see it
It darkens my doorway and I need you.

Now you know.
