Light a Candle For Me |
| Would you light a candle for me, babe? |
| Even though I have done done you wrong |
| If I called you up around midnight |
| Would you pray with me on the phone? |
| I recall the winters we weathered |
| I felt your heart beat with mine |
| You pulled me so deeply inside you |
| Our bodies so sweetly entwined |
| You know it hurt me to hurt you |
| But I felt my deal goin' down |
| Now I’m hung in the hooks of the highway |
| I’m gone and I can’t turn around |
| These devils out here done took me |
| 'Cause they know that I’s a good hearted man |
| It’s too late to pray for my life now |
| But my soul can be saved by your hands |
| Would you light a candle for me, babe? |
| And don’t snuff it out 'til the dawn |
| When that gamey **** stops his crowin' |
| My soul’ll come winging back home |
| Like a deaf man gazin' sadly |
| At a blind man singin' his song |
| There’s a world of difference between us |
| But the grace of God makes us one |
| Would you light a candle for me, babe? |
