You're the only light that kept on burnin' Even when I could not feel the flame I'm the one you kept from overturnin' All you had to do was say my name You whispered me into places That I wouldn't go alone You knew when to call me Right back home Anchor me or set me free You knew when to comfort me And you knew when to let me be alone Chorus: If there's time Maybe this time I can shine for you You always ran just a little short of empty Makin' sure that I was always full You carried me when I was in deep waters But you never left a ripple in the pool (Chorus) You've taken comfort In the shadow I provide It's time to shed some light Upon the place you hide (Chorus)
