Brief Candles (Mono Version) The Zombies

There she sits her hands are held tight around her glass
She only needs to be alone she knows this mood will pass
To realize that she was strong and he too weak to stay
And to realise that she is better off this way

Brief candles in her mind, bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside where she can see
What makes it all worthwhile, her sadness makes her smile

His alone girl fades away, left out on a limb
Finds he needs her more because she's no more need for him
He understood so very well the things she had to say
Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way

Brief candles in his mind, bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile, his sadness makes him smile

In the corner see his face, the man just sips his drink
Not one feeling does he show, far too numb to think
He does not say a single word, no word of love to say
Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way

Brief candles in his mind, bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile, his sadness makes him smile
