The Backsliders - Two Candles lyrics

I know I could've been better And I know I could've tried But I let my heart run unfettered Now my foolishness can't be denied So I'll open my mouth just to insert my foot But I never meant to cause you any pain Now I'm standing here on your doorstep In the rain Them promises split just like water Sweeter than yesterday's wine But I never could do what I oughter Living half out of my mind Last night I walked to the mission And I said a prayer to Saint Lupe Lu Then I lit two candles One for me and the other for you I sat and watched 'em burn blue I know I could've been better And it ain't like I never tried But I guess the whiskey's done took me one better So now I'm standing here with nothing to hide
