John Hiatt - Come Home To You lyrics

Your rating:

There's a mad little kid at the top of the stair

And his eyes, they gather no lie

Well, his mom and his dad, they're too high to care

And his cries drift off in the night 



And I've been that kid, yeah it's true

And I've been both of those parents too

I'm ashamed when I lost my way

But I'd do anything just to come home to you 



The twilight captures the sorrow of time

In between the life and the lived

I press on through the darkness so thoroughly blind

To a lie a new morning gives 



And it sparkles like each new tomorrow

I crank up my last yesterday

Tasted sweet joy and bittersweet sorrow

And I'd do anything just to come home to you 



There's a meanness inside and it shivers my bones

That's the thing about mercy I guess

There's no man so wicked he cannot come home

Nor so good he passes each test 



As the fire of memories burn me

The grace of your love returns me

To this most traveled of highways

Where I'd do anything just to come home to you

I would do anything just to come home to you
