They say you died in your sleep

From a poison vapour leak in 1917

You were only 23

The time I saw you last was in a piece of glass

When you moved across the room

And I smelled your cheap perfume


Late....the candles cast long shadows

No matter where you are


Shiver! In the apartment where I live

And the death you relive

Is too close to my bed

And replays in my head

You are the ghost in the machine

You are the ghost in my routine

And I find you quite obscene

Because the way you make me fiend


Late...the candles cast long shadows

No matter where you are


I don't know what to do

Because your body I see through

But I could not see your face

Though I saw your breath on the mirror

And there's one thing you should know

It's that I fell for you long ago

And everything that I do begins and ends with you


Late...The candles cast long shadows

No matter where you are

The candles cast long shadows
