Roman Candles

(album: WWII - 1982)

It seems to me there ought to be
One time it's everybody's turn
To learn the lonely is only to see you
There's no bridges left to burn

Just when it looks like love is over
For someone no one ever see
True love will tap you on the shoulder
It will knock you to your knees

It's a lot like Roman candles
Red and blue like rain
It's a lot like Roman candles

Love comes along and makes you feel strong
It starts the good old days
They way you feel, love's got the dealing
You find there ain't no check and raise

Just when it looks like love is over
For someone no one ever see
True love will tap you on the shoulder
It will knock you to your knees

It's a lot like Roman candles
Red and blue and green
It's a lot like Roman candles

It's a lot like Roman candles
Red and blue and green
It's a lot like Roman candles
