Old man comes out of the rain

His heart's as heavy as night

There was a time, he was a soldier boy

He forgot the times before the war

There was a girl, he could have called his wife

But he let her slip right through his hands He plays guitar on the corner some

But not enough to be a star

But it's enough just to have some fun

And make some people happy awhile He's searching for a sight unseen

For what his father has not been

He's searching for a feeling, he calls home Went to church to pray for a sign

Throw me a rope, Lord, throw me a line

So I can hang on or I can climb

I don't really care I just want to find my own way

Sing the songs that my guitar plays

Make a child smile, make a daddy cry

Make my mama sing a lullaby I'm searching for a sight unseen

For what my father has not been

I'm searching for a feeling, I call home Yeah, I'm searching for a sight unseen

For what my father has not been

I'm searching for a feeling, I call home
