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
|
