Text: Imogen Heap. Candlelight.
I am alone, surrounded by
The colour blue
Inside a poem, the only
Words I ever knew
Yeah, I washin' my hands
Of the many years untold
For now I am banned
My future is to unfold
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight, oh?
Would you take my candlelight
Away from me?
I am blind, my eyes covered
From the outside for I have lied
Now all there is left
For me to do is hide
Take in a deep breath
I lift my head
For I am a new man
And I arise from my bed
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight, oh?
Would you take my candlelight
Away from me, yeah?
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight, oh?
Would you take my candlelight
Away from me, yeah?
This is all there is
I can see that now
But I have to be careful with it
Now it's been found, yeah
So fragile but powerful
Yeah this is the light
The light of my destiny
Come stay with me through every night
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight, that I, ooh?
Would you take my candlelight
Away from me, yeah?
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight
Away, ahh away from me?
The colour blue
Inside a poem, the only
Words I ever knew
Yeah, I washin' my hands
Of the many years untold
For now I am banned
My future is to unfold
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight, oh?
Would you take my candlelight
Away from me?
I am blind, my eyes covered
From the outside for I have lied
Now all there is left
For me to do is hide
Take in a deep breath
I lift my head
For I am a new man
And I arise from my bed
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight, oh?
Would you take my candlelight
Away from me, yeah?
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight, oh?
Would you take my candlelight
Away from me, yeah?
This is all there is
I can see that now
But I have to be careful with it
Now it's been found, yeah
So fragile but powerful
Yeah this is the light

Come stay with me through every night
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight, that I, ooh?
Would you take my candlelight
Away from me, yeah?
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight?
Would you take my candlelight
Away, ahh away from me?
