Song by Tom Troyer
(ASCAP)

lyrics

Keep a candle burning on the sill
Save a space beneath the floor board
Where I can sleep tonight
In the morning we’ll take a ride
Past the dogs and past their guns
A brush fire we’ll light when the morning arrives
We’ll take the fugitive home.
When I make it safe to Canada
Will you meet me beside the water and pray
You meet me there alive
I know Ontario is cold but I will keep you warm
by the fire
Never let you out of my sight again.
When I get safe across the water
When I stop running
Arrest my feet
Arrest my soul and kiss my girl
When the cuffs are off
When the cuffs are off
Keep a light on and burning bright
So I can find your window
When I’m creeping up the road tonight
I’ll arrive when the streets are empty
When July passes us by
And the birds sing their hopeful song for the lovers on the run
For the lovers on the run
When I get safe across the water
When I stop running
Arrest my feet
Arrest my soul and kiss my girl
When the cuffs are off
When the cuffs are off
And you stay up late talking to friends
And you call me and tell me it’s time
But it wont be that long till I make you mine
Well I’ll strike a match in the barn and let it burn
As we slip away
My father’s cash will get us to the ocean
I’ll kiss your feverish lips like a brush fire that dries up a stream
And melt you like a warm southern sky.
When I get safe across the water
When I stop running
Arrest my feet
Arrest my soul and kiss my girl
When the cuffs are off
When the cuffs are of
