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
