[Verse 1]
Candle shy, candle weep
Fly hot candle leap
Candle roll, unfold and ball
Candle large, candle small
[Refrain]
Your threads of fire are burning up
Your feathers of fire are winning night
And turning light, and turning light
[Verse 2]
Light deepest night for me and steer for me
Spin and spin, then and then
[Chorus]
When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo
[Verse 3]
Candle roll, unfold and ball
Candle blur, candle whir
Candle her, candle her
[Refrain]
While your lights are spinning around
Your feathers of fire are winning night
And turning light, and turning light
[Verse 4]
Candle crack, candle break
Correct the night's mistake
[Chorus]
When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo
Candle mambo
Candle mambo
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo
[Verse 3]
Candle roll, unfold and ball
Candle blur, candle whir
Candle her, candle her
[Refrain]
While your lights are spinning around
Your feathers of fire are winning night
And turning light, and turning light
[Verse 4]
Candle crack, candle break
Correct the night's mistake
[Chorus]
When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo
