A candle on the windowsill
Burning bright, burning still
Need you home, it lights the way
There today like yesterday

And you don't have to explain
I got your blood running through my veins

And it don't matter where you've been
Through the thick and through the thin
Say a prayer, say my name
I am the keeper of the flame

And you don't have to explain
I got your blood running through my veins
And you don't have to explain
I got your blood running through my veins

All your secrets have a home
They won't be traded, it won't be so
Whisper softly in my ear
When you want 'em, they are here

And you don't have to explain
I got your blood running through my veins
And you don't have to explain
I got your blood running through my veins
And you don't have to explain
I got your blood running through my veins
And you don't have to explain
I got your blood running through my veins
