Jars Of Clay - five candles текст песни

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
