Speak me softly in the dunes
The parched and sand swept alcoves of your heart
In the making of candles, I shine this light for you

Sleek me softly in the sand
Iridescent particles play happily before your eyes
In the making of candles, I scent the shores for you

Seek me softly in the winds
Whispers of the wood and glen to ease your mind
In the making of candles, I still the breezes here for you

Speak me softly in your heart
Where once an icy flow crippled every wanton beat
In the making of candles, I warm away the cold for you

Speak me softly
In the making of candles
This fire burns bright
