Light a Candle for Me Lyrics
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 ol' cock 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?
Even though I have done done you wrong
If I called you up around midnight
Would you pray with me on the phone?
I felt your heart beat with mine
You pulled me so deeply inside you
Our bodies so sweetly entwined
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
'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
And don't snuff it out 'til the dawn
When that gamey ol' cock stops his crowin'
My soul'll come winging back home
At a blind man singin' his song
There's a world of difference between us
But the grace of God makes us one
