Like all broken fathers Estranged from sons and daughters Sorrow comes often up that path Watch for you on that old road Haunted by regrets dressed up like hope Those ghosts in cloaks keep coming back Hold me now, I think I finally can understand it Heaven knows that the way this broke ain't the way we planned it We can always ask for grace but we cannot demand it Constellations crashing down If those lost stars could speak out loud Falling suns all calling out Please don't let that light go out In my dream, I saw you walking Sadness up above you stalking It followed you just like a hawk Then you sat there all alone And set your lonely eyes for home But I woke up before I tried to talk Hold me now, I think I finally understand it Heaven knows that the way this broke ain't the way we planned it We can always ask for grace but we cannot demand it Constellations crashing down If this old floor could speak out loud Wood on bruised knees calling out Please don't let this light go out We know that we are sorry It's time for you to come back home I'm at the window in the hallway A distant figure is on that road Now I'm standing in the doorway The lamplight is already lit I see you coming towards me I will run to you every step I will run to you every step I will run to you every step
