And his eyes they gather no light
And his mom and his dad they're too high to care
As his cries drift off in the night
And I've been that kid yeah it's true
And I've been both of those parents too
I'm ashamed when I've lost my way
But I'd do anything just to come home to you
It's the twilight captures the sorrow of time
In between the life and the lived
I press on through the darkness so thoroughly blind
To a light the new morning gives
And it sparkles like each new tomorrow
I drank up my last yesterday
Tasted sweet joy and bittersweet sorrow
But I'd do anything just to come home to you
There's a meanness inside and it shivers my bones
That's the thing about mercy I guess
There's no man so wicked he cannot come home
Nor so good he passes each test
As the fires of memories burn me
The grace of your love returns me
To this most traveled of highways
Where I'd do anything just to come home to you
I would do anything just to come home to you
There's a mad little kid at the top of the stairs And his eyes they gather no light And his mom and his dad they're too high to care As his cries drift off in the night And I've been that kid yeah it's true And I've been both of those parents too I'm ashamed when I've lost my way But I'd do anything just to come home to you It's the twilight captures the sorrow of time In between the life and the lived I press on through the darkness so thoroughly blind To a light the new morning gives And it sparkles like each new tomorrow I drank up my last yesterday Tasted sweet joy and bittersweet sorrow But I'd do anything just to come home to you There's a meanness inside and it shivers my bones That's the thing about mercy I guess There's no man so wicked he cannot come home Nor so good he passes each test As the fires of memories burn me The grace of your love returns me To this most traveled of highways Where I'd do anything just to come home to you I would do anything just to come home to you Explain Request ×
