Light a Candle

When I'm south and lonely
And nothing feels close
When I'm wasting away
And need you the most
When I'm down on my knees and don't know what to do

That's when I light, I light a candle for you

But I'll wake from visions
And I can't find your heart
And the night keeps my mind
Somewhere deep in the dark
When I want the sunrise, but I'm stuck with the moon

I light, I light a candle for you

Hope that flame finds a way
Over thousands of miles
Hope it lands on your skin
And it lights up your eyes
Hope it cuts through the shadows
And shines on the truth
Hope the fire keeps you warm in your room

That's why I light, I light a candle for you

When you can't see yourself
In the secrets you keep
And you can't find that spark
That led you to me
I'll be down on my knees, because that's what I do

I light, I light a candle for you

Hope that flame finds a way
Over thousands of miles
Hope it lands on your skin
And it lights up your eyes
Hope it cuts through the shadows
And shines on the truth
Hope that fire keeps you warm when you're cold in your room

That's why I light, I light a candle for you
That's why I light, I light a candle for you
That's why I light, I light, I light
A candle for you
I light a candle for you
