Gill Vince - Almost Home (Duet w/Guy Clark) lyrics

(feat. Guy Clark)

He was sitting in the corner

At a table all a lone

A candle burnin' in the darkness

His glass of wine was almost gone

Something about him felt familiar

And it made me atop and a stare

The way he held his hands before him

Looked like he was lost in prayer

Hey son, what are you looking at?

Why do your eyes look so sad?

There's something in the way he sat there

Made me think about my dad

I'm looking for the answer

Just like everyone

I know that there's no ending

To the love between a father and a son

Hey son, why don't you pull up one of those empty chairs?

Bring it over here by my side

Buy me a glass of wine

This looks like a real good place to hide

You know I've always been a fisherman

Fishin' for souls along the way

You kind of remind me of my only son

I lost him 33 years ago today

I'm looking for the answer

Just like everyone

I know that there's no ending

To the love between a father and a son

There's somethin' I'd sure like to give you

It's a compass that my Father made

He told me it'd point you in the right direction

In case you ever lose your way

You know I've got somethin' here in my pocket

This little silver cross

I think my son would want you to have it

When you think all the hope is lost

We're looking for the answer

Just like everyone

We know that there's no ending

To the love between a father and a son

I left him sitting at his table

But I didn't feel alone

For a moment I could see the light

Oh we were almost home

For a moment I could see the light

Oh we were almost home
