The only ones left are all dumb         Hope I’m wrong again wrong again wrong uh uh uh There’s our mum        The last time we checked she was young But all she’s got left has gone numb      And she’s gone again gone again gone uh uh uh [Pre-Chorus] There’s nothing wrong with a song sung into battle oh We need you now don’t leave us now what a palaver oh What a don’t leave me [Chorus] Holding the candle too long Burning my fingers and thumbs Holding a candle too long How can losing one leave you half as strong?

How can you say another day when there’s no tomorrow? Tomorrow don’t leave me [Chorus] Holding the candle too long Burning my fingers and thumbs Holding a candle too long How can losing one leave you half as strong?
