When I'm south and lonely, and nothing feels close
When I'm west of nowhere, 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
When I 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 alive
Hope you're 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
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
I hope that fire keeps you warm in your 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 a candle for you
I light a candle for you
I light a candle for you.
