John Hiatt - Come Home To You Lyrics
There's a mad little kid at the top of the stairAnd his eyes, they gather no lieWell, his mom and his dad, they're too high to careAnd his cries drift off in the nightAnd I've been that kid, yeah it's trueAnd I've been both of those parents tooI'm ashamed when I lost my wayBut I'd do anything just to come home to youThe twilight captures the sorrow of timeIn between the life and the livedI press on through the darkness so thoroughly blindTo a lie a new morning givesAnd it sparkles like each new tomorrowI crank up my last yesterdayTasted sweet joy and bittersweet sorrowAnd I'd do anything just to come home to youThere's a meanness inside and it shivers my bonesThat's the thing about mercy I guessThere's no man so wicked he cannot come homeNor so good he passes each testAs the fire of memories burn meThe grace of your love returns meTo this most traveled of highwaysWhere I'd do anything just to come home to youI would do anything just to come home to you
