Light a Roman Candle with Me

[Intro]

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

You can wear your sandals

And I'll pour you just one cup of tea

Then you can go and rest

You haven't seen my best, so

[Verse 1]

Just spend an evening with me

Just a lazy evening

Then you could be leaving

Or we could stay and talk until three

I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so

[Chorus]

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple, oh

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple

[Verse 2]

If we were honest

And both wrote a sonnet

Together a sandwich with everything on it

At least we would know

That the sparks didn't glow

But we owe it to ourselves to try

So we aim and ignite

So often I call and I plead with you

"Give me a chance!"

It's not often that I understand

The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right

Don't think of tomorrow tonight

Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old

But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone, so alive

You look for a legend

I'm looking for common ground

Your heart isn't breaking

And mine isn't making a sound, oh

[Bridge]

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old, so

[Chorus]

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple, oh
