Liza, Light the Candle Songtext

von Eric Andersen

Oh it gets so weary mama, ridin' on the midnight line
Sometimes I think I see so much I sense I'm losin' sight
Liza, take me slowly from the darkness to the morning
'Cause I wish those times I'd been born deaf, dumb, and blind.

Chorus:
Oh, Liza, bring your candle light
There's somethin' that I'm lackin'
And I just ain't seein' right
Lovers they make promises, but lovers they tell lies
Don't you know that I need a freind 'til the nighttime end
So Liza, sweet Liza, light the candle
Won't you stay with me tonight?

Some days I'm a sunny boy, and I'm happy as a lark
Other times I'm driven to the darkness
And I just can't seem to find a spark
I almost feel like sailin' to an island... to a stranger
I could blame it on the blues...

For I swear I lost my heart.
