Candle shy, candle weep
Fly, hot candle, leap
Candle roll and fold in ball
Candle large, candle small

Your threads of fire burning up,
Your feathers of fire winning night
And turning light, and turning light
Light deepest night for me, and steer for me

Spin and spin
Then and then

When I'm dancing with my love the shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the Candle Mambo

Candle roll and fold in ball
Candle blur, candle whir
Candle her, candle her

While your lights are spinning round,
Your feathers of fire winning night
And turning light, and turning light

Candle crack, candle break
Correct the night's mistake

When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above, the shadows do the Candle Mambo
