The sun comes up alone Like a funeral for my home Like a mirror for my soul But I should've known better I was feeling like skin and bones I kept chasing after these ghosts I kept giving up on these hopes When I found Your letter I am Yours and Yours alone Forgive me for my wandering on my own I'm a prodigal soul And I want to come home I can't make it alone, yeah Won't You bring me home? Tried to start on something new Tried to blame myself on You But my nightmares all came true I felt so unsteady I still see Your face when I close my eyes and I think about You wide awake at night and How far do I have to go to realize What I know already? I am Yours and Yours alone Forgive me for my wandering on my own I'm a prodigal soul And I want to come home I can't make it alone Won't You bring me home? I was running on empty I was feeling so low When You made me a promise To never let me go I was falling to pieces When You carried me home When You told me You loved me And my prodigal soul And I want to come home I can't make it alone And I want to come home Yeah, I want to come home I'm a prodigal soul Yeah, but I'm coming home I can't make it, I can't make it alone, yeah And I want to come home, yeah In my dreams, all is forgiven In my dreams, I'm by Your side But when I wake up, something's missing Can You free me from my prodigal soul? Yeah, won't You bring me home?

It's been a long time since you felt peace In the valley you made where you're not meant to be Where the shame throws shadows on you But don't you forget That you're headed to more But you've settled for less Don't buy the lie "it's as good as it gets" The same feet that left you lost and alone Are the very same feet that can bring you back home Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal There will be nights, when you hear whispers Of the life you once knew, don't let it linger Cause there's a grace that falls upon you Don't you forget In the places you're weak He is very strong Don't ever believe "you don't deserve love" The same God that protects you when you're lost and alone Is the very same God that is calling you home Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal Oh... Let your life be made new Oh... As you come into view Your Father's not waiting, no he's running too He's running straight to you Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal

We are passengers Traveling through the afterworld We can't know where we come from Pasiphae's just another moon Jupiter's by my side And we watch galaxies collide My apathy is losing ground Open my mouth (open mouth) make a sound Someone's in the rearview mirror, I see them pulling up beside me Humming like a throated sparrow, I wipe an old tear from my eye Just take the wheel and drive You're listening To the songs of celestial kings Coming down, you look for me Here I am, reaching perigee Someone's in the rearview mirror, I see them pulling up beside me Humming like a throated sparrow, I wipe an old tear from my eye Someone's in the rearview mirror, stay in your lane, you'll be fine Mercury is stuck in scorpio and the little dipper's dripping dry Take it in, open your heart, they're smiling, hold on Take it in, open your ears, they're laughing, hold on Take it in, open your mouth, they're singing, hold on We're passengers and the road is long

He had time on his hands He carried the world on his shoulders He said, "Meet me at the Hudson's edge Help me roll my boulder" Remember when I went down, running down Took the B61 across town To where he was waiting at the ice house Wish it was my house He took me out back for a drink Showed me the heart on his sleeve Love is a daily good thing I see it in your smolder But I can't feel it in my hands And I'm wringing them more now I'm older Remember when I went down, running down Took the B61 across town To where you were waiting at the ice house Wish it was my house You took me out back for a drink Showed me the heart on your sleeve Like ships in the night We go down without light We burn up all our anthracite And try to make a spark Find a crack and let it in It'll come, it might be dim Adjust your eyes, I know you can You'll find me in the dark How will I know if I'm the last one alive? I'm the last one For forty-one days and as many nights I'll be standing where we stood Under an indigo sky Watching flames jump from firewood

Where are you? Are you there? Where are you? Are you there? Are you waiting at the golden stair? Can I be, can I be free? Will I be, am I soon to be free? Do you remember you loving me? In my quiet time I pray with you, I pray with you Deep in my heart Where every word I ever dreamed Is cross-stitched on my pillow Now, I lay me down to sleep Beneath the weeping willow Will you, you carry me? Will you, will you carry me again? Will you wrap me in your arms Like you did way back then? Hold me, hold me tight Show me the cheek by the firelight I'll know it's you by touch and sound and sight. I'll walk and run, peek in each room Look in, where have you gone? Where should I go? When every doorway leads to nowhere I am lost and broken Come for me and take me home And crack my heart wide open. (Who is there?) I look out (Who is there?) All looks the same But a mirror holds no claim (Who is there?) Who's standing here? (Who is there?) In the shadows Will he stay or will he run? I give him what he wants. Where should I, where should I be? Who's taken my life Are they looking for me?

In the magic hour, when the moon is low And the sky's the kinda blue that you think you know But you don't know Trickle is dark he runs around in All the fairy children they run around and All the other children they make no sound In that hour, if you're on the coast And the waves nip at your heels like a dog Pull me closer It's past the time of the dinner bell Before the shine of Orion's belt The sky's still bluer than a bluebell Oh when I go, won't you throw my bones to the fish And weigh my body down with sticks and stones Bury me now in the old graveyard where all my friends are Beneath the heather on the high hillside Death is a lonely bride In the magic hour, when the moonlight gleams And the sky's the kind of gray that you've never seen Till you've seen it Run down to the Virgin Mary's bank Where our mothers cried and our drank They all just tried to see just where this sank In that hour, if you listen hard You can hear my granddaddy singing far away Like an evening star Songs in an old island, songs bout being young again I wish I was young again Oh when I go, won't you throw my bones to the fish And weigh my body down with sticks and stones Bury me now in the old graveyard where all my friends are Beneath the heather on the high hillside Death is a lonely bride
