On a doorstep the night you set me free
Lonely walks and empty talks
And there's no one there but me
And I still feel the heartbreak rolling down my cheeks
As I call out your name and nobody speaks
Just a letter from your wayward son...
My heart gets twisted inside forgiving you
And I don't guess you'll ever
Know what I been through
It's been over forty miles traveled on my knees
If you listen to the wind you can still hear my pleas
Just a letter from your wayward son...
Sixteen candles burning bright and standing high
Reaching so desperately for your sweet breath lullaby Accepting everything I know I'll never know
But why'd you ever let that blue-eyed baby go
Just a letter from your wayward son...
