[Verse 1]
The world keeps getting smaller 'til it closes 'round my room
And everything I feel now is hard and fast and true
My window is a spotlight on the madness down below
It takes a silent figure to make this place a home

[Chorus]
Now the candles burn all night without you
And the moon hangs out of sight
So blue on Seventh Avenue

[Verse 2]
I gave you what you wanted and it took so many years
Now I'm just a part of the traffic and the tears
I am not a lighthouse, not the answer or the truth
The love that I held on to is safe inside this room

[Chorus]
Now the candles burn all night without you
And the moon hangs out of sight
So blue on Seventh Avenue

[Chorus]
Now the candles burn all night without you
And the moon hangs out of sight
So blue on Seventh Avenue
[Outro]
(All of the stories from all of our lives
Are not lost from memory on these streets tonight)
