John Hiatt - Come Home To You lyrics

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 pa**es 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
