Five Candles — текст песни (Jars Of Clay)

A promise or a dare

I would jump if I knew youd catch me

Staring over the edge

I cant tell if youll be here for me



I close my eyes and make a wish

Turn out the lights and take a breath

Pray that when the wick is burned

You would say that its all about love





Chorus:





You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open





You were never here





I remember you said

Love was more than your good intentions

Empty boxes on the floor

Things I never asked you for

I pray that when the wick is burned

You would say that its all about love





[chorus]





I cant see the promise of

Excuses you fall upon

I pray to God not holding on

To things youve left undone





[chorus x 2]





You were there when i

You were there when i

You were there when I needed you
