Just a candle, I'm not asking for a fire
I just need some light, that's all I desire
Just to look inside, simply just to see
I'm not going to keep it, believe in me
I can see you, and I think you have one
Please can I borrow it?

Just a candle, any one will do
It doesn't have to be scented, pretty things are for you
I just need it for a minute, have one to spare?
It's been long since I had one, if you care
I can't see where I am; I can't see your hand
Are you passing one to me?

I can't see where you are, but I feel you close by
Please don't leave, stay, but don't ask why
I need your light, mine has burnt out
It's easier this way, I have no doubt
What are you doing? I can't see at all
Are you passing me one?

I can't hear you
Can you hear me?
