I watched you climbing 

From the window of your house

Down the drainpipe to the lawn

The rain was falling hard 

Upon your face you turned

You were crying but I couldn't tell


Safety was no longer 

Within the confines 

Of your walls

Maybe it would be better to run away


Prodigal

Where do you go

When you go prodigal

Come home


I see you keep moving 

But the concrete's setting

Hard around your heart

We both smile and say “hey”

So near and yet so far away


And so we talk awhile

N' while we talk you drift away

Standing there

You were crying but I couldn't tell


Prodigal

Where do you go

When you go prodigal

Come home

Come home now
