Candle Mambo

Candle shy, candle weep

Fly, hot candle, leap

Candle roll and fold in ball

Candle large, candle small

Your threads of fire burning up,

Your feathers of fire winning night

And turning light, and turning light

Light deepest night for me, and steer for me

Spin and spin

Then and then

When i'm dancing with my love the shadows flicker up above

Up above the shadows do the candle mambo

Candle roll and fold in ball

Candle blur, candle whir

Candle her, candle her

While your lights are spinning round,

Your feathers of fire winning night

And turning light, and turning light

Candle crack, candle break

Correct the night's mistake

When i'm dancing with my love

The shadows flicker up above

Up above, the shadows do the candle mambo
