Candle shy, candle weep

Fly, hot candle, leap

Candle roll and fold in ball

Candle large, candle small


Your threads of fire burning up,

Your feathers of fire winning night

And turning light, and turning light

Light deepest night for me, and steer for me


Spin and spin

Then and then


When I'm dancing with my love the shadows flicker up above

Up above the shadows do the Candle Mambo


Candle roll and fold in ball

Candle blur, candle whir

Candle her, candle her


While your lights are spinning round,

Your feathers of fire winning night

And turning light, and turning light


Candle crack, candle break

Correct the night's mistake


When I'm dancing with my love

The shadows flicker up above

Up above, the shadows do the Candle Mambo
