Lyrics
it was a day they would say
the candels blew out twice
it was then we knew they'd stay
in this dessart paradise
take me away from this paradise
take me back to where i'm free
take me away from this paradise
as soon as i'm home i'll be alright
we tried to warn them how
the candles may blow out
but all our words had fell
on deafend ears that night
take me away from this paradise
take me back to where i'm free
take me away from this paradise
as soon as i'm home i'll be alright
the time we spent with them
was short without a doubt
we didint know thier names
but now thier names cry out
take me away from this paradise
take me back to where i'm free
take me away from this paradise
as soon as i'm home i'll be alright
