Candle Burning

[Intro: slow grand piano, soft synth pad] [Verse 1: intimate, breathy vocals] The midnight flight, the empty hall, I never found the words at all. The neon fades, the street is cold, Another story left untold. A forgotten glass, a lonely tea... Just say goodbye and set me free. [Chorus: soaring melodic vocals] A candle burning... in the deep of night, The world is fading out of sight. A piece of ice, a misty soul, A broken heart beyond control. A candle burning... through the silent years, To wash away a thousand tears. [Verse 2: storytelling mode] I’m mixing ice and bitter smoke, A lonely man, a simple joke. The saxophone begins to play, To chase the ghosts of yesterday. That tender look, that fading light... A distant ghost within the night. [Chorus: emotional, melodic, lush reverb] A candle burning... in the deep of night, The world is fading out of sight. A piece of ice, a misty soul, A broken heart beyond control. [Solo: soulful saxophone, emotional and smooth] [Chorus: emotional, melodic, lush reverb] A candle burning... in the deep of night, The world is fading out of sight. A piece of ice, a misty soul, A broken heart beyond control. [Chorus: emotional, melodic, lush reverb] A candle burning... in the deep of night, The world is fading out of sight. A piece of ice, a misty soul, A broken heart beyond control. [Solo: soulful saxophone, emotional and smooth] [Outro: fading piano, gentle whispering] A candle burning... In the silence... [Solo: soulful saxophone, emotional and smooth] [End]
