|
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 |
