Roman Candles Lyrics

As the long day turns into short night

You shut off the light in your room

Old poetry books and mystic lore

Scatter the floor in this gloom

Asleep you're lost inside your mind

The only shelter now you could find

I promise when all of this is through

I'll shoot roman candles with you

Spending our days outrunning the rain

Away from our pain and our fear

Now staying inside on our Fourth of July

Means wondering why we're still here

Now shoot your sparks on over to me

But save those fireworks for me to see

I promise when all of this is through

I'll shoot roman candles with you

Roman candles with you

Roman candles with you

Roman candles

When morning comes and the dawn shines upon

The lines we have drawn in cold days

We'll see all good things deserve a good time

That it's not a crime to stargaze
