Every night, candles are lit for me
And your image flickers in the flame.
Don’t say that time will heal me
And everything passes just the same.

No, I’ll never find peace again,
For you took my whole soul with you -
First to the port then on the plane,
You unknowingly took it too.

Every night, candles are lit for me
And your image flickers in the flame.
Don’t say that time will heal me
And everything passes just the same.

There’s an empty desert in my soul;
All you see is a vacant land.
Trash and cobwebs in this dustbowl
All the rest she took in her hand.

Now evening lights the candles for me,
And your image flickers in the flame
Don’t say that time will heal me
And everything passes just the same.

All roads are going nowhere in my soul.
Dig in and there’s nothing to see -
Half-phrases, half songs, nothing whole;
The rest is France and Paris.

So let evening light candles for me,
And your image flicker in the flame.
Don’t say that time will heal me
And everything passes just the same.
