Candles in the Window

Verse 1

Candles in the window

The wind comes through the door

Nobody living knows my name

I count the cold tiles on the floor

I hear them calling softly

Pre-Chorus

November pulls the daylight down

The bells begin to toll

I feel my shadow leave the ground

I feel it let me go

Chorus

All Souls' Day

All Souls' Day

The quiet ones come out to play

All Souls' Day

All Souls' Day

I never learned the words to say

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Stay with me

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Stay with me

Verse 2

My mother set a plate out

For someone who would not arrive

The clock is ticking slower now

And something feels alive

I keep the lamp on burning

Pre-Chorus

The mist is folding over me

The streetlamps start to hum

I'm not afraid of what I see

I'm afraid of what I've done

Chorus

All Souls' Day

All Souls' Day

The quiet ones come out to play

All Souls' Day

All Souls' Day

I never learned the words to say

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Stay with me

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Stay with me

Bridge

Shadows shiver shiver

Cold and close and kind

They know every secret

I kept behind my mind

(Souls, souls, souls)

Breakdown

I walk between the candles

I walk between the names

I walk between the candles

And nothing stays the same

Chorus

All Souls' Day

All Souls' Day

The quiet ones come out to play

All Souls' Day

All Souls' Day

I never learned the words to say

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Stay with me

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Stay with me
