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
