Prodigal

[00:06.40] Henry loves the ballpark

[00:11.41] But lately he ain’t coming round

[00:15.65] Things have been so different

[00:19.41] Since his youngest boy left town

[00:30.55] Fighting seem so harmless

[00:35.06] Families sometimes disagree

[00:39.05] It’s hard to know the reason

[00:42.80] Why he finally chose to leave

[00:47.43] But he’s gone away

[00:54.08] And his father waits

[01:01.08] And he is watching and he is hoping

[01:08.97] Though his eyes are weary, his arms are still open

[01:16.47] And his prayer, so softly spoken

[01:27.47] Please come home

[01:38.97] Now Henry sits and wonders

[01:43.96] In that front porch rocking chair

[01:47.97] Does his boy remember

[01:51.96] All the love the family shared

[01:56.71] And is he cold

[02:03.47] Out there alone

[02:09.22] And he is watching and he is hoping

[02:17.36] Though his eyes are weary, his arms are still open

[02:25.61] And his prayer, so softly spoken

[02:36.25] Please come home

[02:42.75] To your seat at the table

[02:46.50] To your father who weeps

[02:50.75] Every night in sleepless dreams

[02:55.00] He longs to see

[02:59.63] His face in younger skin

[03:03.89] Running down the driveway again.

[03:11.05] And he is watching and he is hoping

[03:18.55] Though his eyes are weary, his arms are still open

[03:26.55] And his prayer, so softly spoken

[03:37.44] Please come home
