Lyrics


I woke up early in the middle of a dream
only light of my tv was on flickering away
I turned it off and I turned over to get back to
The sleep that was so slumberful
but rest wouldn't it come it wouldn't

So I sit here in the dark
I light a match with a shiver
Making shadows on the wall
In the candle lit the puppets made of fingers
Dance and flicker

Got so much stuff aint finished up
If I concentrate hard enough I know I'll self destruct
I need to sleep wish I could rest I gotta sleep
Cause I'm sinking in the walls are caving
half asleep and knee deep

And I sit here in the dark
The smell of sulfur makes me quiver
Making shadows on the wall
In the candle lit the people made of fingers
Dance and flicker

... A candle makes no mistakes
It lets the breeze dictate

So I sit here in the dark
I light a match with a shiver
There are shadows on the wall
In the candle lit the puppets made of fingers
Dance and flicker

I sit here in the dark
Feels like the room is getting bigger
now the shadows are so small
In the candle lit the world is bright
Sleep is just a flicker
In the candle lit the world is bright
And sleep is just a flicker

Story Behind The Song

Sometimes songwriting can be easy, productive and just a delightful experience for a couple of music friends. Cathryn words + Charlie music = sounds good so far. Let's go to the studio. More new ideas and Andy plays great guitar and makes it real. Voila, we've got a song. Composing and recording doesn't always need to be a tortured experience.
