A candle on the windowsill Burning bright, burning still Need you home, it lights the way There today like yesterday And you don't have to explain I got your blood running through my veins And it don't matter where you've been Through the thick and through the thin Say a prayer, say my name I am the keeper of the flame And you don't have to explain I got your blood running through my veins And you don't have to explain I got your blood running through my veins All your secrets have a home They won't be traded, it won't be so Whisper softly in my ear When you want 'em, they are here And you don't have to explain I got your blood running through my veins And you don't have to explain I got your blood running through my veins And you don't have to explain I got your blood running through my veins And you don't have to explain I got your blood running through my veins
