Papas Front Porch - Lyrics by Gross Paul


Lyrics
I woke to find the note that I thoughtwould never be found on my cupboard door
It said that you needed time on your ownsomewhere to heal the scars of our home
I knew right then where you had to go
Chorus:
Your papa's front porchwould be there to greet youas you came runnin downthat old dirt roadit's memories would comfort, hold you and keep yousafe and out of the stormand that's where you'd goyour papa's front porch
As I screamed down that interstatehowlin your name in the windmy heart reached out and slammed on the brakesin a spin rage cannot win
I knew I'd never hurt you again
Time will heal this world that we made
But how high is the price we paid
All I ask is a breath of forgiveness
As I walk away
