Light a Candle for Me Babe

Light a Candle for Me Babe - Dash Rip Rock/Bill Davis/Produced by Tab Benoit

Would you light a candle for me babe

Even though I have 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 going 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 was a good hearted man

It's too late to pray for my life now

But my soul can be saved by your hand

Would you ligh a candle for me babe

And don't snuff it out till the dawn

When that gamey old cock stops his crowing

My soul will come winging back home

Like a blind man gazing sadly

At a deef man singing 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
