Come Home To You Lyrics - John Hiatt

There's a mad little kid at the top of the stair 

And his eyes, they gather no lie 

Well, his mom and his dad, they're too high to care 

And his cries drift off in the night 

And I've been that kid, yeah it's true 

And I've been both of those parents too 

I'm ashamed when I lost my way 

But I'd do anything just to come home to you 

The twilight captures the sorrow of time 

In between the life and the lived 

I press on through the darkness so thoroughly blind 

To a lie a new morning gives

And it sparkles like each new tomorrow 

I crank up my last yesterday 

Tasted sweet joy and bittersweet sorrow 

And I'd do anything just to come home to you 

There's a meanness inside and it shivers my bones 

That's the thing about mercy I guess 

There's no man so wicked he cannot come home 

Nor so good he passes each test

As the fire of memories burn me 

The grace of your love returns me 

To this most traveled of highways 

Where I'd do anything just to come home to you 

I would do anything just to come home to you
