Lyric

Candles in Nagasaki

Frozen Gap

Can’t you turn it off

And let me light it up

Float it down the river now

I lose my voice

And the sound of crackers

Fills my town

I wish you were here

I would ignore my destiny

If you smiled at me once again

Good and bad times that we made

Come rushing back to me

Candles burning up

The world is lighted up

Words aren’t enough for us now

I lose my voice

And the sound of crackers

Fills my town

Time is passing by

As long as I’m alive

But can’t go back to that time

I’m lost in the stream

Looking for the place

Where I burn out

What you gave me

Is still here certainly

I won’t bother you at all

Stars shining above and below us

You’re no longer here

Candles burning up

The world is lighted up

Words aren’t enough for us now

The night that once

Lasted forever

Has now gone out

Can’t you turn it off

And let me light it up

Float it down the river now

I lose my voice

And the sound of crackers

Fills my town
