Lyrics
First Verse
Spark a match and watch the candle burn
The wick runs out and then love takes its turn
On fallen angels and broken sounds
We will last past the final round
Chorus
C G*
It took a while for you to find me
[Am]Because I was hiding in the lime tree
C G*
Above the city in the rain cloud
[Am]I poked a hole and watched it drain out
Second Verse
Parallel to the city streets
Our broken crowns beneath our feet
But as we walk across the diamonds
We know that love is always shining
So save me love save me all the time
I'll wash you down with a simple sip of wine
And toast my glass to all my loved ones
To let them know that the stars well they still shine
Chorus (Play this twice)
C G*
It took a while for you to find me
[Am]Because I was hiding in the lime tree
C G*
Above the city in the rain cloud
[Am]I poked a hole and watched it drain out
Improve the lyrices from the chorus after playing it twice then finish up the song with
first verse tab. Play through twice before singing
---------------------| --3----0-------------| --0----0-------------| ------------0--------| --3----5-------------| ------------5--------|
Repeat the first verse lyrics
Spark a match and watch the candle burn
The wick runs out and then love takes its turn
On fallen angels and broken sounds
We will last past the final round
