Almost Home

Vince Gill
(feat. Guy Clark)

Almost Home 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

John 14:2                    In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
