Grant Watson - I'll Light a Candle Lyrics

I'll light a candle
To protect me from the dark
I'll watch it burning
Like a ragged little star

It will flicker on the windows
And cast its shadows
Across the stairs
Like you're walking
Through the bedrooms
In that pale blue party dress

I'll light a candle
To protect me from the dark
I'll light a candle
And dream that you're not
Gone

I'll light a candle
When the visitors have left
I'll keep it burning
By your picture
On my desk

It will gleam into the blackness
Like you're dancing in the hall
With your shoes
Laid out beside you
As you move about
The floor

I'll light a candle
To protect me from the dark
I'll light a candle
And dream that you're not
Gone

And your body is a fragment,
A faded pattern on the wall
And your voice is now lost to me
In the falling of the snow

That is gathering in the garden
That is gathering on the path
That is gathering up the angels
Standing silently on the grass

I'll light a candle
To protect me from the dark
I'll light a candle
And I'll wait for you to come
