Lyrics
i heard you singing in your sleep
turning over words so wonderful and deep
something in your melody was haunting me
all day
never heard those words before
they were darker than the Raven's "Nevermore"
something in your melody was haunting me
all day long i was singing to your song
i heard it once and i never got it wrong
you were singing your superstitious lullaby
you were singing, "Candlelight? Lay your rays upon me
make it seem alright."
something in your choice of words was haunting me
all day
what is in a candles's light
that makes you sing about it late into the night?
something in your melody was haunting me
(chorus)
i want to hold you for a while
watch that candle burn and see your distant smile
something in the way you breathed was haunting me
all day
tell me something i don't know
tell me why you're singing beautiful and slow
something in your melody was haunting me
(chorus)
