| He was sitting in the corner
|
| At a table all alone
|
| A candle burnin' in the darkness
|
| His glass of wine was almost gone
|
| And something about him felt familiar
|
| And it made me stop and stare
|
| The way he held his hands before him
|
| Looked like he was lost in prayer
|
| Hey son, what are you lookin' at?
|
| Why do your eyes look so sad?
|
| There’s somethin' in the way he sat there
|
| It made me think about my dad
|
| I’m lookin' for the answer
|
| Just like everyone
|
| I know that there’s no ending
|
| To the love between a father and the son
|
| Hey son, why don’t you pull up one of those empty chairs?
|
| Bring it over here by my side
|
| Buy me a glass of wine
|
| This looks like a real good place to hide
|
| You know I’ve always been a fisherman
|
| Fishin' for souls along the way
|
| You kind of remind me of my only son
|
| And I lost him 33 years ago today
|
| I’m lookin' for the answer
|
| Just like everyone
|
| I know that there’s no ending
|
| To the love between a father and the son
|
| There’s somethin' I must give you
|
| The compass that my father made
|
| It’ll point you in the right direction
|
| In case you ever lose your way
|
| You know I’ve got somethin' here in my pocket
|
| This is little silver cross
|
| I think my son would want you to have it
|
| When you think all the hope is lost
|
| We’re lookin' for the answer
|
| Just like everyone
|
| We know that there’s no ending
|
| To the love between a father and the son
|
| I left him sitting at his table
|
| But I didn’t feel alone
|
| For a moment I could see the light
|
| Oh, we were almost home
|
| For a moment I could see the light
|
| Oh, we were almost home |
