Almost Home |
He was sitting in the corner |
At a table all alone |
A candle burnin' in the darkness |
His glass of wine was almost gone |
And something about him felt familiar |
And it made me stop and stare |
The way he held his hands before him |
Looked like he was lost in prayer |
Hey son, what are you lookin' at? |
Why do your eyes look so sad? |
There’s somethin' in the way he sat there |
It made me think about my dad |
I’m lookin' for the answer |
Just like everyone |
I know that there’s no ending |
To the love between a father and the son |
Hey son, why don’t you pull up one of those empty chairs? |
Bring it over here by my side |
Buy me a glass of wine |
This looks like a real good place to hide |
You know I’ve always been a fisherman |
Fishin' for souls along the way |
You kind of remind me of my only son |
And I lost him 33 years ago today |
I’m lookin' for the answer |
Just like everyone |
I know that there’s no ending |
To the love between a father and the son |
There’s somethin' I must give you |
The compass that my father made |
It’ll point you in the right direction |
In case you ever lose your way |
You know I’ve got somethin' here in my pocket |
This is little silver cross |
I think my son would want you to have it |
When you think all the hope is lost |
We’re lookin' for the answer |
Just like everyone |
We know that there’s no ending |
To the love between a father and the son |
I left him sitting at his table |
But I didn’t feel alone |
For a moment I could see the light |
Oh, we were almost home |
For a moment I could see the light |
Oh, we were almost home |
