The Shyest People in the World

The candlelight was cool and bright

It could only steal away from the eyes

We look away for seconds on end

But who can tell us why

The nerves just won’t let us go

The nerves shake us bone cold and dry

A glass of wine for health and luck

And numbed but even conversation

The shyest people in the world will always speak

Exactly what they mean in the long run

I get this intense, quiet picture of two people staring into each other's eyes over candlelight, but without the cliche romantic mood.

"it doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it's done."
