How long will these candles glow about
Before their flames have blown out
And will their light have shown the way
Or left me stranded there in yesterday

The words are clear
Yet I still can't hear you
Cut with your sheers
And baptized in your voodoo

Lost in the years
The feelings disappear

How long will this flashlight last
Before the batteries' lives have passed
And will it sneak up on me like a shark
And leaving me searching there in the dark

The words are clear
Yet I still can't hear you
Cut with your sheers
And baptized in your voodoo

Lost in the years
The feelings disappear

Had we never played this game
Would things have ended up the same
Would things have ended up the same
Had we never played this game
