Old man comes out of the rain |
|
His heart's as heavy as night |
|
There was a time he was soldier boy |
|
He forgot the times before the war |
|
There was a girl he could have called his wife |
|
But he let her slip right through his hands |
|
He plays guitar on the corner some |
|
Not enough to be a star |
|
But it's enough just to have some fun |
|
And make some people happy awhile |
|
Searching for a sight unseen |
|
For what his father has not been |
|
He's searching for a feeling he calls home |
|
Went to church to pray for a sign |
|
Throw me a rope, Lord, throw me a line |
|
So I can hang on or I can climb |
|
I don't really care |
|
I just want to find my own way |
|
Sing the songs that my guitar plays |
|
Make a child smile, make a daddy cry |
|
Make my mama sing a lullaby |
|
I'm searching for a sight unseen |
|
For what my father has not been |
|
I'm searching for a feeling I call home |
