Refrain:
You, Were My Hope
Your Hope Was Mine
Candles Are Low
For the Last Time
I Don't Want to Look; When I Do It Saddens Me
It Saddens Me So When I Recall Their First Light
I Don't Want to Turn Back to Then, For Then I'll See
How Quickly They Lengthen in Line and They Multiply
(Refrain)
Once I Made a Big Cake For My Father So Long Ago
For His 50th Birthday One Year, Wouldn't You Know
Like Cassandra, I Read Him a Chilling Prophecy
I Read Him a Poem, It Was 'candles' and Now I Grieve
Spoken:
[days of Our Future Stand Before Us
Like a Row of Little Lighted Candles
Golden, Warm and Lively Little Candles
The Days Gone By Remain Behind Us
A Mournful Line of Burnt-out Candles
The Nearest Ones Are Still Smoking
Cold Candles, Melted, and Bent]
(From "candles" By Cavafy)
I Don't Want to Look When I Do It Saddens Me
It Saddens Me So When I Recall Their First Light
I Don't Want to Turn Back to Then, For Then I'll See
How Quickly They Lengthen in Line, and They Multiply.
(Refrain)
