The Road That Leads Me Home To You

The road that leads me home to you


The burdens that I bear,
are  too shameful to share
The journey that I'm on,
doesn't take me anywhere


It is said that love is blind,
And, I know... I've been unkind
but, you've always had 
the power to see through me


Chorus
The pain is never ending
for the two of us...
And I know very well,
that I've broken your trust...
I'm traveling on a pathway,
that's beaten me black and blue
but, I just can't seem to find,
the road that leads me home to you


I know that when a precious thing
receives a fatal blow...
You can try to piece the pieces,
but, the damage will still show


Our love is like a broken vase,
so precious and unique
Let's bond ourselves  back together,
and let loving actions speak



Chorus
The pain is never ending
for the two of us...
And I know very well,
that I've broken your trust...
I'm traveling on a pathway,
that's beaten me black and blue
but, I just can't seem to find,
the road that leads me home to you


I've tried to find some peace,
shutting off the craziness of night
I've been searching for the shining star
to lead me home 'fore morning light

Just knowing that you'll be there,
waiting patiently for me
Gives me the courage to come home,
and set me free from misery


Chorus
The pain is never ending
for the two of us...
And I know very well,
that I've broken your trust...
I'm traveling on a pathway,
that's beaten me black and blue
but, I just can't seem to find,
the road that leads me home to you

the road that leads me home to you 
the road that leads me home to you
the road that leads me home to you
the road that leads me home to you

repeat and fade

Nice write John! You were right this is something I would write as well. Do you go for a particular genre? We’ll have to collaborate on one sometime.

Beautiful lyrics, John. I would love to hear with music. I was singing it to the tune of, God Bless the Broken Road, as I read it a second time. You have a great talent for song writing. Blessings, Rhonda xx

The heartache is so evident. Your lyrics are passionately tender, John. I apologize for not responding to your comment on one of my poems a couple of days ago, but I just saw it.
