A Lightless Love Lyrics

Hand me the kindling

The fire is dwindling

You laughed the candle out

Drunk in the dark

Is all well there's our spark

And a while 'til the Rhine wine runs out

But do you know what I'm thinking of?

A drink less den and a lightless love

Who long ago enquired

Whether or not the fire

He felt was returned

And I'm ashamed to say

I left the next day

That boy with his fingers burned

Now at this table

I seek to make stable

So glass and candle stay

I find myself asking

As those in my past did

Whether or not you will stray

This fear I have

You can't comprehend

'Til you've spurned your own share of men

Who've declared their desire

Their hearts all on fire

All to no avail

'Til you've flitted and fled

From barroom to bed and to yourself said

"Onwards to the spark that cannot fail"

I fear the table's turn

I know I will be burned
