[Bridge]                 [Verse] As sure as the rose The bright day blooms As surely still it fades And the night kindles stars On empty winds And ghosts along the collonades And slow but sure The sands are falling As the bridge burns Beneath the wheel And the mystery of love It just keeps growing The more my heart reveals The more my heart reveals [Outro] The more my heart reveals (keep going) The more my heart reveals (just let it play)                    Ohhhhh Let that candle burn
