Three Candles

Three candles light the scene
All is quiet
Tiny distractions, eastern skies
Fool me once, fool me twice
Oh, tonight's play of illusion
Something whispers against the wind
Words scatter
Sweet confusion, blissful lunacy
Bits of wax, moon drops on the sea
Oh, tonight
Three candles light the scene
Come together, of wood and steel
Out of body, outside of time
Driftwood dancer, splinters of mind
Time begins, stillness proceeds
All together
At the edge, ships become the waves
Candles are the stars in their flame
Oh, tonight
Three candles light the scene
Come together, of wood and steel
Out of body, outside of time
Driftwood dancer
All three candles light the scene
Come together, of wood and steel
Out of body, outside of time
