Another unfinished I found. I'd forgotten about.

Well I've been gone a long long time And I got lost along the way But I'm coming home now I'm coming home to stay I make no promises I don't trust anything I say But deep inside my heart is longing for a change Just one more time Lord won't You just show me the way One more mile Get me through another day . Looking back I know now just where I turned And I remember well that lesson I never quite could learn . And this is my letter home I wound up in many places that I just did not belong And I've gambled on my future and I always got it wrong Everything I trusted in only left me all alone And now I finally realize That Love has called me home . And that old tree is bigger now But the Gate is still the same The neighbor lady is a little older But she still just smiled and waved I walked on up the sidewalk And when my feet stepped on the porch I almost turned and ran away As I was reaching for the Door And then I saw Your smile and knew It was everything I was longing for . Well I was gone a long long time And sure got lost along the way But I've come home now I've come back home to stay I trust Your promises I trust everything You say ?
