| There are those nights I
come home having worked too many hours in the
studio,or weary from weeks of road travel - I
wash the day off of me,stretch a few tendons,tiptoe
around the house,flip through a few pages,aimlessly
stare into the refrigerator for a spell,and before
long,slip quietly into bed,doing my best not to
awaken Tricia. I always feel like such a criminal. |
It’s good to see the sun
And trace the miles of golden corn
To walk the sacred ground
Where I was born
To touch the morning glories
Upon the hills we used to climb
To see your face
After all this time
From the long lonesome road
I come to greet you
From the land where the restless hearts roam
I’ve come back to tell just how much I need
you
And that your wayward lover has come home
So fine to lay in fields
Beneath the arc of heaven’s light
To hold you in my arms
Deep into the night
So glad to know your heart
Has not grown bitter with the years
To see forgiveness
In your moonlit tears
From the long lonesome road
I come to greet you
From the land where the restless hearts roam
I’ve come back to tell you just how much
I need you
And that your wayward lover has come home
Once I left a girl crying
Beneath an old willow tree
Just thought she might be waiting there for me
From the land where angels fear to stray
It took a million miles to know how much I want
you
And that your wayward lover’s here to stay |
