[Verse]
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]
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
But the love that I held onto
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
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Now the candles burn all night
Without you
And the moon hangs out of sight
So blue
On Seventh Avenue
[Slow fade-out]
