The Zombies — Brief Candles

[Verse 1] There she sits her hands are held Tight around her glass She only needs to be alone She knows this mood will pass [Pre-Chorus] To realize that she was strong And he too weak to stay And to realize that she Is better off this way [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] His alone girl fades away Left out on a limb Finds he needs her more because She's no more need for him [Pre-Chorus] He understood so very well The things she had to say Soon he'll understand that he Is better off this way [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] In the corner see his face The man just sips his drink Not one feeling does he show Far too numb to think [Bridge] He does not say a single word No word of love to say Maybe he will soon believe He's better off this way [Chorus] 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
