Pray Me Home

The light is falling through an open door
The madcap violets with the rain, wind, and speed
A five star diner and now you're not alone
From wishing for the winter to pray me home
Everybody thought you'd had a spell
Your only father could not express his need
In a room full of strangers who never could have known
All of the sudden changes
Pray me home, there was no reason to believe
In just a life half lived
With no one to rely upon, you will just never know
How it feels to give, you'll just never know how it feels
How did you find forgiveness and just keep movin' on
It's taken me forever to live it for one day
Don't have the time to doubt it or even need to know
Just hope it brings an answer to pray me home
Remember all the faces that you kept in your mind
You held them like the lovers who never were afraid
Of all you put before them and it sunk you like a stone
In the dark and deepest waters pray me home
