Lyrics
Watch the shadow of the candle on the wall
Dancing like the widow of the wind
Instead of crying as I'm lying on the floor
I'm laughing like I don't know where I've been
I can see it in the dark
But I can't seem to close my eyes
And when it's over there's no time to find myself
I just let it slip away
In the bedroom where I often lay my head
The windows always scare me half to death
And as the owner of a conscious I confess
I've never been the type to hold my breath
I can see it in the dark
But I can't seem to close my eyes
And when it's over there's no time to find myself
I just let it slip away
If the market was an open place to trade
Everyone would need an equal share
And if I didn't have to break myself in half
I would not have quite so much to repair
I can see it in the dark
But I can't seem to close my eyes
And when it's over there's no time to find myself
I just let it slip away
I just let it slip away
I just let it slip away
