How Far Away Home Is

Down lonely autumn roads
The dust swept before my eyes
The harvest fields slowly turn to dirt
Quiet empty city streets
The grey thunderclouds closing in
How far, far away home is.
And God I fear
Every morning I wake
Is closer to home and you.
Dawns fire skies alight
Like the glow in your eyes
Captures me
It captures my heart.
And God I fear
Every morning I wake
Is closer to home and you
Is closer to home and you.
Yeah
Yeah.
And God I fear
Every morning I wake
Is closer to home and you
And God I fear
Every morning I wake
Is closer to home and you
Is closer to home and you
Is closer to home and you.

Redemption
03:04

Lord forgive my lying words
I got a heart made of stone
And murder in my hands
But there's fire
Burning in my soul
There's fire in my bones
To become a better man.
Lord teach me to love again
These sinners hands are bare
And all I have is lost
But there's a fire
Burning in my soul
There's a fire in my bones
To become a better man.
I feel it all around
My heart begins to break
My knees on the ground
Redemption on its way
Redemption on its way
Yeah
Yeah.
Lord teach me to love again
There's a fire in my bones
To become a better man.

Her Broken Heart
04:22
|

|
Break the silence with your violence
She says and turns away
She knows that he'll be gone
When she's home
And she sits there feeling lonely
The hours pass her by
The morning sun will bring her
Something new.
She was 18 when she left home
In search of something more
Than the golden fields she played in
As a girl
Still she sits there scarred and broken
Her blue eyes crying sad
Leaving trails down her face
To her heart.
And time she says
Is running out
There's nothing he can do for her
And all she has
Are the songs she sings
And the words that will heal her broken heart.
All the sadness that she holds dear
Has burned the hope in her
And the winter coming out
Won't heal her heart
Still she sits there feeling lonely
Her heart begins to break
There's no one there to help her
When she cries.
And time she says
Is running out
There's nothing he can do for her
And all she has
Are the songs she sings
And the words that will heal her broken heart
And time she says
Is running out
And there's nothing he can do for her
And all she has
Are the songs she sings
And the words that will heal her broken heart
And the words that will heal her broken heart.

Home for Christmas

Twenty days to go
Christmas time came fast around this year
The lines upon my face
Are memories I earned along the way.
And oh, I was gone so long
And oh, how I miss your smile.
I'm home for Christmas, my love
I'm home for the New Year
You're what I'm dreaming of
And yesterday is gone
It's just another so and so
It still feels like the first time
Christmas I'm coming home.
The New Year's coming round
Second chances are written in the stars
The plans we never had
When we were twenty-two and now we've come so far.
And oh, I was gone so long
And oh, how I miss your smile.
I'm home for Christmas, my love
I'm home for the New Year
You're what I'm dreaming of
And yesterday is gone
It's just another so and so
It still feels like the first time
Christmas I'm coming home.
And oh, I was gone so long
And oh, how I miss your smile.
I'm home for Christmas, my love
I'm home for the New Year
You're what I'm dreaming of
And yesterday is gone
It's just another so and so
It still feels like the first time.
I'm home for Christmas, my love
I'm home for the New Year
You're what I'm dreaming of
And yesterday is gone
It's just another so and so
It still feels like the first time
Christmas I'm coming home.
Christmas I'm coming home
Christmas I'm coming home.

23

I can never see
How you hand me life
And tell me I was right at 23
And how could I have known
You were waiting on that street
You were right in front of me
I was yours.
A year has come and gone
You're a mystery I feel
Like I've known you all along
An autumn leaf in a breeze
That will make its way back home
I'll be right in front of you
I'll be yours.
23, I know you're the girl
23, I hold you like my own
And pretty threes
You're a mystery
You're my girl
23, you're a mystery to me.
The daisies smell the same
Walking down the aisle
And I can see your pretty face
The bright blue sky in your eyes
Now it's smiling down at me
I am now your boy
At 23.
23, I know you're the girl
23, I hold you like my own
And pretty threes
You're a mystery
You're my girl
23, you're a mystery to me
23, you're a mystery to me.
