Light a Roman Candle With Me

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

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

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple

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 that often that I understand

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

So don't think of tomorrow night

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

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

You look for a legend

I'm looking for common ground

Your heart isn't breaking

And mine isn't making a sound

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple
